CASE STUDY: MAXXAM™ REC RECYCLED POLYOLEFIN FORMULATIONS COLLABORATING TO REDUCE PLASTIC OCEAN WASTE AVIENT FORMULATES RECYCLED OCEAN-BOUND PLASTICS, MAINTAINING MATERIAL PERFORMANCE AND REDUCING CARBON FOOTPRINT THE CHALLENGE The family-owned electrical component supplier, Hager Group, produces electrical switches, sockets, devices, controls, housings, and more for installation in homes and commercial buildings. Plastic Bank® was the chosen supplier of the PCR content. THE SOLUTION Working with Plastic Bank, Avient expedited its approval as a new supplier, reducing Hager’s project timeline.

As suppliers of these materials continue to develop innovations in chemistry and capabilities, the appeal of both TPEs and LSR will grow even stronger. When looking to incorporate sustainable content into your TPE, the raw material cost may be more expensive than traditional materials for three reasons 1) supply chain maturity, 2) high demand, low supply, 3) location of source and supplier.
