TPEs: The Basics
PET Water Bottles can be
recycled in a closed loop
The goal of a circular economy is to minimize waste and
make the most of available resources to create a world
that is restorative and regenerative by design.
Special additives
like peroxides, antioxidants, chain extenders, elastomers, colorants and
performance modifiers can be added to rPET during processing to achieve
these properties and remedy cross-contamination, discoloring or any other
impurities.
