Brand owners for all types of consumer products are setting sustainability goals to increase the amount of post-consumer recycled content (PCR) used in their packaging and improve the recyclability of that packaging at end of use. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

All grades utilize 35 to 60 percent bio-renewable content, and they deliver varying hardness levels, favorable property retention UV resistance and flame retardancy comparable to traditional TPEs. With an opaque, natural color, all reSound bio-based polymers are easily colorable using traditional TPE colorants to match design specifications.

Opportunities for metal replacement are all around us,” noted Eric Wollan, general manager of PlastiComp at Avient. Examples include:  •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation  •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses 

+View All ECCOH™ 5978 UV formulations exceeded material fire performance requirements and met all other performance criteria for aerial drop cable jacket

Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint   More than 111,000 employees in the BASF Group contribute to the success of our customers in nearly all sectors and almost every country in the world.
