Increase incorporation of recycled* content
A challenge related to increasing the mechanically recycled content in a formulation is the adverse effect it can have on the physical properties of the final product. Adding high-performance polymers like Exceed™ XP, or Enable™, or Vistamaxx™ performance polymers can help overcome the loss of properties.
