This includes lower-carbon alternatives to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) without sacrificing performance, portfolio expansions including bio-renewable feedstock and post-industrial or post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, and new materials and services focused on meeting specific customer needs while helping to advance a circular economy. Maxxam™ REC, Maxxam™ BIO, and Nymax™ BIO grades: An expanded portfolio of recycled and bio-based polyolefin and polyamide formulations now manufactured in Europe. Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

Post-consumer recycled (PCR) and post-industrial recycled (PIR) resins up-engineered with long fiber reinforcement. Recycled resin content customizable to meet performance and sustainability requirements Performance data and information on Complēt REC long fiber reinforced composites incorporating recycled resin

When considering sustainable content TPEs, recycled content formulations have more limitations based on the comingled nature of recycled raw materials. TPEs, however, have an advantage when it comes to recycling. For example, the use of sustainable content such as bio-based or recycled sources can lower a PCF.

Recycle Solutions Compatible with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, supporting environmental goals and reducing waste

The CycleWorks innovation center serves as a collaboration platform for value chain partners to advance mechanical plastic recycling. It conducts cutting-edge research to solve fundamental issues in mechanical recycling.

Water usage is primarily confined to essential sanitary applications and process cooling, with a notable emphasis on closed-loop recycling to minimize consumption. These plans will provide a roadmap for identifying sources, recycling, alternative uses, and tracking for sites where we can have the biggest impact.
