In addition to their use in standalone applications, TPEs can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic grip in an injection molding process to create a distinctive, cushioned feel without compromising the stiffness and strength of the underlying structure. When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and virtually seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS).

In addition, organizations such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW) have emerged to foster meaningful sustainability improvements by mobilizing manufacturers and brands. For example, Avient is a founding member of the AEPW, and also participates in the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s UK Plastics Pact.
