This abundant supply includes thousands of tons of PVB, found in the inner layer of the glass, potentially bound for landfills. Instead, the outer glass is recycled and the PVB is reclaimed and reprocessed for various uses, including an alternative raw material source for polymers. Both injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored.
