Keeping valuable materials in circulation.
Increasing the use of recycled and renewable materials will help support the move to a circular economy model by lowering the demand for finite fossil-based virgin materials.
We’re working hard to turn waste into a resource, taking recycled polymers and incorporating them into the Dryflex Circular range of Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs).
Recyclate Sources include:
PIR : Post Industrial Recyclate
Recyclate comes from hygienic and medical applications. We’re continually investigating new sources.
Target Applications:
• Consumer Goods
• Sports Equipment
• Footwear
• Automotive Interior + Exteriors
• & more
These grades are available in natural colours.
PCR : Post Consumer Recyclate:
Recyclate sources include recycled PP from end-of-life vehicles, including automotive interior and exterior applications. Other sources include household plastic waste.
Target Applications:
• Automotive exteriors and technical parts.
• Outdoor equipment.
• Safety barriers.
These grades are only available in dark colours.
MWR : Maritime Waste Recyclate
We’re working with PLASTIX, a Danish recycling company. They convert used fishnets, trawls and ropes that would previously have ended up in the ocean or on landfill, into high-grade raw materials.
The source of the recyclate we use in our Dryflex MWR TPEs consists mainly of post-use maritime ropes.
Target Applications:
• Consumer Goods
• Automotive Exteriors
• Outdoor Equipment
These grades are available in black, blue, green and mint colours.
