TPEs can incorporate sustainable content in two ways: using either recycled or bio-based content in the formulations. Using recycled content in the formulations can impact colorability and/or surface aesthetics, ultimately influencing material choices made during the design phase. TPEs with recycled or bio-based content can be formulated to enable brands to create more sustainable plastic products.
