Recycled TPU decreases our dependence on virgin petroleum without sacrificing durability or weather-resistant performance. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is a crucial part of what makes our Black Hole® products so durable.

After quality control and compounding, post-industrially recycled TPU becomes Recycled+™ with enhanced properties. With 96%+ recycled content and properties to rival virgin TPU, Recycled™ TPU can be used as the standalone material or main content of your product.

Made resistant to wear, oil, and extreme temperatures, our recycled thermoplastic urethanes (TPUs) come at low costs and offer increased durability for various applications in footwear, fashion, and apparel.

Resilient: Recycled and partly bio-based TPU is resistant to oils, grease and solvents. Drop-in: Mass balance feedstocks work in existing systems without new investment. Customizable: More sustainable feedstock grades can be created for your application.

Recycling TPUs has been named in several patents describing a supplemental option for a nonwoven fabrication process, but was neither specified further, nor published. All scientific relevant studies concerning the recycling of TPUs target injection molded specimens in comparison to extrusion.

Dec 6, 2024 · The good news is that TPU can indeed be recycled. While TPU is not biodegradable, its thermoplastic nature allows it to be reshaped and reused multiple times through various recycling processes, reducing waste and contributing to a circular economy.

It is possible to recycle Ultrasint ® TPU 88A and Ultrasint ® TPU01. No matter if the part was manufactured by using Selective Laser Sintering or Multi Jet Fusion technology. After the material is recycled, it can be used in injection molding.
