As PET undergoes multiple remelting cycles, it can break down, suffering from thermal degradation, and resulting in a material of lower quality than its virgin counterpart. Designing additives and recycling processes with circularity in mind is essential for the future of sustainable plastic packaging. The journey is challenging, but with continuous innovation and a commitment to sustainability, a circular economy for plastics is achievable.

In fact, you may have found yourself swimming in plastics alphabet soup and unsure where to start. TPEs can also be made from post-consumer recycling like ocean plastic (e.g., fishing nets) and turned into material for other goods. Most thermoplastic elastomer products are also recyclable under Plastic Recycling Code 7.
