One way clothing and footwear producers are working to address these priorities is by using more recycled raw materials, such as recycled polyester from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, within their synthetic fibers.
The plastic mass is then shaped into filaments, spun, and texturized into an already-dyed yarn.

HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN HOME APPLIANCE
ANTI-VIBRATION FEET
• Reduced appliance movement and noise –
vibration damping technology reduces
movement and noise of the appliance
when in use
• Resistance to wear and tear – TPEs are proven
to maintain their shape and resist tears with
low compression set
• Better performance and function – increase
design freedom with material selection
flexibility
• Improved processability – boost efficiency
with injection molding processing and reduce
overall production cycle time
and costs
• Reduced number of part defects – eliminate
secondary operations to achieve consistent
and controlled results

In addition, because it is difficult to bond textiles to parts with intricate curves and shapes, the application of fabric can limit design options and increase scrap rates.

FOOD PACKAGING IN A
CHANGING MARKET
In many food contact applications, flexible plastic
packaging is replacing rigid packaging for varied
reasons; it has lightweight characteristics, is easy
to customize in any shape, and has a favorable
carbon footprint.
Eco-conscious packaging
compositions are preferred by customers, pushing
convertors and brand owners to use sustainable
materials—perhaps partially based on renewable
or bio-derived sources—that also ensure food
contact compliance.
