Polyplastics develops new PLASTRON LFT grades with PCR content

Polyplastics has developed new PLASTRON long-fiber thermoplastic (LFT) grades made of post-consumer recycled (PCR) polypropylene (PP) content.

Polyplastics has developed two new PLASTRON LFT grades with PCR content.

The new grades – PLASTRON RSG20011 and RSG20013 – feature more than 30% PCR content combined with 30% to 40% glass fiber reinforcement.

The grades offer mechanical performance, such as high rigidity and excellent impact strength, equivalent to Polyplastics’ virgin material products. The two new grades are undergoing sample production and evaluation.

By utilizing post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials, the newly developed grades contribute to reducing the product carbon footprint (PCF) of more than 20%.

The PCF values shown above were calculated based on the GHG Protocol and ISO 14067, using operational data over a defined period along with reference values from reliable databases. These figures are not guaranteed values.

Polyplastics will further expand its product lineup to include products utilizing recycled materials and cellulose fibers. This will help reduce environmental impact and enhance the ability to meet customers' diverse needs.
