TPE Circular Economy Practices: From Post-Consumer Recycling to Closed-Loop Regeneration

Driven by the global circular economy trend,substantial progress has been made in TPE recycling and regeneration technologies. Several leading companies have established complete closed-loop systems—from post-consumer product collection to high-value regeneration—achieving TPE recycling rates exceeding 80%. Through innovative depolymerization-repolymerization technologies, recycled TPE can recover over 90% of its original performance, truly realizing a "cradle-to-cradle" cycle. Currently, regenerated TPE is successfully used in automotive interiors, building seals, daily consumer goods, and more, reducing both petroleum-based raw material consumption and carbon footprint by over 60%. This practice provides a replicable business model for sustainable development in the plastics industry.
