Aventis provides reSound R PC for the Asian market, which is a series of polycarbonate products containing 10% to 30% glass filler, with a recyclable content ranging from 25% to 75%.
Evante, a professional supplier of sustainable materials solutions and services, today launched several new post-consumer recycling (PCR) and post-industrial recycling (PIR) product portfolios. With consumer demand for more sustainable, environmentally friendly products and increased regulatory pressure, the reSound R portfolio of recyclable ingredients can help brand owners achieve their sustainability goals. Launched today are reSound R PC polycarbonate, reSound R VX TPEs and reSound R ND polyamide.
According to the prediction of relevant experts, by 2030, more than 400 million tons of plastic waste may be produced globally every year. Faced with these predictions, many brands have pledged to increase the renewable plastic content in their products. Evante has developed these new recyclable ingredients to help customers achieve their goals and provide more options for the circular economy.
