https://www.avient.com/news/avient-launches-new-tpes-post-consumer-recycled-content-automotive-windshields
Both new TPEs contain 25 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) content from PVB reclaimed from broken automotive windshields and laminated architectural glass.
This abundant supply includes thousands of tons of PVB, found in the inner layer of the glass, potentially bound for landfills.
Instead, the outer glass is recycled and the PVB is reclaimed and reprocessed for various uses, including an alternative raw material source for polymers.
