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
Range of PIW* content amount up to 100%

Elastollan^®RC grades with PIW* content available
