As part of Polyplastics’ commitment to advancing sustainable material solutions, these new grades — PLASTRON(R) RSG20011 and RSG20013 — feature more than 30% PCR content combined with 30% to 40% glass fiber reinforcement. The newly developed grades offer mechanical performance — such as high rigidity and excellent impact strength — equivalent to the company’s commercial products made of virgin raw materials.
