The focus on sustainability and environmental impact reduction drives innovation in the plastics industry. Recycled thermoplastic compounds represent today’s most effective response to market needs, offering high-quality materials produced with resins from chemical and mechanical recycling.
Chemical and Mechanical Recycling in Technical Compounds
Traditionally, only simple polymers like PP and PET were easily recyclable. Today, thanks to technological innovation, advanced technopolymers such as PA6, PA66, PPS, PPA and PEEK can be recovered from post-industrial and post-consumer waste, creating recycled compounds suitable for advanced technical applications.
LATIECO: the Range of High-Performance Recycled Thermoplastic Compounds
LATIECO compounds are developed to meet the most demanding industrial applications. These reinforced and flame-retardant materials use recycled base resins to reduce carbon footprint without compromising performance.
