Utilizing the Social Plastic from Plastic
Bank, two new Maxxam™ REC Recycled Polyolefin
formulations were developed, one in each RAL
color requested.
The Maxxam REC Recycled
Polyolefin formulations met the required technical
specifications, including good UV resistance, scratch
resistance, impact resistance, and with a matte finish,
making them suitable for use in the cubyko leaf
waterproof outdoor socket.
THE IMPACT
The new Maxxam REC Recycled Polyolefin formulations
from Avient enabled Hager to bring the new cubyko
leaf to market quickly, with a first launch in the French
market in January 2024.
