While these machines clearly measure energy savings (15–30%), they do not provide material distribution values.

Additionally, new minimum recycled content thresholds will mean that from 2025 there will be a sales ban on PET bottles containing less than 25% recycled plastics, increasing to 30% in 2030.

Typical shot sizes need to be between 30%–80% of barrel capacity .

Introduced in March 2015, these sustainable formulations—with at least 30% engineered natural fiber by weight—offer an alternative to glass fiber reinforced polypropylene compounds, with comparable mechanical properties at 5-10% lower density.

Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more than 30 different materials.

They are up to 30% lighter than long glass fiber materials, yet have overall superior strength and stiffness. 

Besides relying on the verified halogen-free technology of all flame-retardant reSound TPEs, Avient’s new low-PCF HFFR formulations include two reSound BIO grades with up to 45% bio-based content and one reSound REC FR grade with up to 30% PCR content.

Andrew Donovan, Avient Technology Group Lead, will discuss recycled content thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for automotive interiors at the Circular Economy Summit on Wednesday, November 8, from 11:50 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Palacio de Iturbide, room 3.
