Formulated to achieve 62 percent recycled content, this high-performance TPE enabled BIC to create products that live up to its sustainability promises. By combining reSound R TPE with a transparent plastic that also has recycled content, the BIC Soleil Click 5 handle reaches over 40 percent recycled content in total, while maintaining the trusted and quality shave BIC’s consumers enjoy.

It creates a smaller carbon footprint than virgin carbon black because it uses 90 percent less water and 61 percent less electricity while emitting 90 percent less carbon dioxide in its manufacturing process.*   “We continue to look for ways to help our customers meet their sustainability goals by developing products that are environmentally responsible,” says Kevin Jones, general manager, PolyOne Color & Additives, North America.

Specific gains include: •    39 percent reduction in the weight of finished assemblies •    50 percent increase in the number of molded heat sinks produced each day •    20 percent reduction in the total cost to produce each heat sink •    Elimination of secondary finishing operations

Increased sales: Retail bookings in the first year of the new shoe increased 40 percent over the previous model. Performance improvement: At the highest energy impacts, based on 7 to 9 mph for a large runner, Brooks testing shows the TPE-based system provides a 30-50 percent improvement in cushioning over traditional systems. Switching to Avient's GLS™ TPEs enabled Brooks to move to a single injection molding process, yielding a 30-40 percent reduction in energy usage and a projected savings of $80,000 to $100,000 annually.
