High-Performance Sustainable TPEs with 60% PCR Content

Monprene® thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have long enhanced the consumer experience with their performance, aesthetics, and feel. Now, that experience extends to environmental responsibility. The new Monprene® R6 CP-10100 series, incorporates a minimum of 60% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, resulting in a substantial reduction in carbon footprint compared to virgin TPEs. These new circular solutions empower brands to build a more sustainable future.

Reducing environmental impact without sacrificing performance is a key challenge in material selection. The Monprene® R6 CP-10100 Series addresses this by incorporating over 60% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content while delivering up to a 36% reduction in CO₂e emissions compared to conventional virgin TPEs.
This reduction is based on third-party reviewed Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data, providing transparent, credible metrics that support sustainability reporting and ESG goals.

Unlike many recycled materials, these TPEs maintain consistent appearance, processing, and mechanical performance allowing manufacturers to transition toward more sustainable solutions without operational trade-offs.

• Up to 36% reduction in carbon footprint vs. virgin TP
• >60% post-consumer recycled content, independently verified
• Third-party certified PCF data for transparency and reporting
• Maintains performance comparable to virgin TPE, including translucency
• Supports circular material flows and reduced reliance on fossil-based feedstocks

Achieving consistent, high-quality aesthetics has historically been a major limitation of materials with recycled content. Many recycled polymers exhibit dull, gray, or inconsistent coloration, restricting their use in premium consumer applications.

The Monprene® R6 CP-10100 Series is engineered to overcome this challenge. Even with over 60% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, these TPEs maintain excellent translucency and colorability, enabling vibrant colors or clean, translucent designs without the “muddy” appearance typical of recycled materials.

This unique combination of sustainability and visual performance allows designers and manufacturers to meet both aesthetic expectations and environmental goals—without compromise.

Sustainable TPEs with high PCR content are increasingly used across a wide range of consumer applications where performance, aesthetics, and environmental impact must align. The Monprene® R6 CP-10100 Series is specifically engineered to meet these demands—delivering consistent processing, soft-touch feel, and durable performance across multiple end-use categories.

By combining verified recycled content with reliable mechanical properties and high-quality appearance, these materials enable manufacturers to incorporate sustainability into product design without compromising functionality or brand perception.
