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. reSound REC recycled content formulations helped this brand owner deliver on their sustainability goals.

THE CHALLENGE Schneider-Electric NB (Strömfors), a Nordic-based producer of electrical parts recently switched to a non-halogenated gasket (seal) material from Avient in boxes and enclosures for household electrical installations. Always on the lookout for environmentally friendly technologies, Schneider-Electric has developed a reputation for having the “greenest” applications on the market, helping to differentiate itself from competitors by its proactive approach. Next, the materials team formulated a grade that would offer enough heat resistance to be overmolded onto polypropylene, the underlying rigid material.
