Upcycling TPU post-industrial waste

Performance Polymers

From recycling to upcycling: TPU Elastollan® RC

Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Elastollan® can be recycled – chemically and mechanically. Therefore, it contributes as such to the sustainability transformation towards a circular economy. At BASF we took another step ahead and developed a process to upcycle TPU: Elastollan® RC.

Why re- and upcycling TPU?

  • Reproduceable close to virgin performance​
  • Reducing waste and CO2 emissions
  • Saving fossil resources​
  • ISCC PLUS certified recycled content
  • PIW* content amount up to 100%​
  • Tailormade based on customer demand
