  • No lot traceability
  • 100% recycled content – post-industrial or pre-consumer
  • Non-FDA
  • Not intended for Medical Applications, Printing, Lamination, or Gluing processes
  • Variance in color, opacity, surface, melt flows, and impact levels can be seen within the run or from run to run
  • Availability is dependent on the availability of raw materials.

Applications

In today’s market, it is becoming more apparent that customers & consumers are seeking products with an environmental edge. Reasons for this drive may be because of true desire for a sustainable future environment and some maybe a result of seeking an environmental marketing edge.
