With millions of tons of plastic scrap generated each year, plastic recycling has assumed an increased importance in the recent years. At RheTech, we have been doing our part in making a positive environmental impact by converting reprocessed polypropylene streams into valuable finished products.
RheLon offers a broad range of PA6 and PA 66 compounds. RheLon grades are available with up to 90% recycle content as economical as well as environmentally responsive solutions.
Textile

Traditional mineral fillers such as and calcium carbonate take large amounts of energy to produce. RheVision can replace these traditional mineral reinforcements with renewable bio-waste streams. The majority of RheVision products use bio-fibers that are traditionally seen as waste by their current industries. These fibers come from a wide variety of sources but none are produced for the sole purpose of being added to plastic.

By using RheVision, you are reducing the amount of reinforcements being mined and processed by high energy manufacturers. RheTech also offers RheVision compounds that include post-industrial and post-consumer resins. This allows customers to give themselves an edge in the marketplace by bringing “greener” products to market.
