    Avient has announced a new addition to its reSound™ R grades that contain recycled elastomer content.
    The new TPEs all contain 25% post-consumer recycled content (PCR) from shattered automotive windshields.
    It is processed from PVB material recycled from laminated architectural glass

    PVB material recovered from broken automotive windshields and laminated architectural glass

    According to reports, these materials are the result of close cooperation between Evante and Shark Solutions
    .
    Shark Solutions is a leading supplier of sustainable polyvinyl butyral (PVB) products

    .

    An estimated 75 million broken windshields need to be replaced each year
    .
    If not handled properly, thousands of tons of PVB in the inner layers of glass end up in landfills every year

    .
    In fact, when glass is recycled, PVB can be processed to become an alternative raw material for polymers

    .
    Avante processes PVB to make it a more sustainable TPE

    .

    The new reSound R grades were developed with a hardness of 45 to 55 Shore A for general-purpose applications in the consumer goods and automotive industries
    .
    Both TPE grades are injection moldable, overmolded with polypropylene (PP), and easy to color

    .

    According to Evante, these reSound R grades with PCR components offer performance characteristics similar to traditional TPEs and are suitable for many consumer durables and grips - such as personal care products, lawn and garden tools, golf clubs and footwear
    .
    Their performance characteristics are also suitable for automotive applications that can benefit from vibration damping, such as door mats, door dampers and glove boxes
