Consumer demand for more sustainable, eco-friendly products continues to grow along with regulatory pressure. Recycled plastics can be used to create new products across several industries, but one brand owner in particular was looking to incorporate recycled plastics in their consumer applications. These TPE grades, formulated for consumer applications, can be used in personal care products, lawn and garden tools, outdoor goods, office supplies, footwear, and houseware durables.

But when the designers for a well-known manufacturer planned their next generation product, they knew that to capture more market share they needed to make the totes stronger. The lighter weight and stiffer walls of the redesigned tote helped the manufacturer to differentiate its product and gain market share. In addition, reducing the tote wall thickness resulted in a savings of about $470,000 a year, based on reduction in material usage and lower unit costs for fuel to transport products to retailers.

The materials are a result of close collaboration with Shark Solutions, a global leader in advanced sustainable polyvinyl butyral (PVB) products. These reSound REC grades with PCR content offer similar performance properties to traditional TPEs and are suitable for many durable consumer products and grips—such as personal care items, lawn and garden tools, golf clubs, and footwear. These material developments create an opportunity to help divert mountains of valuable resources from the waste stream and upcycle them into new products.
