For thermoplastics, the “waste” can be reheated, then collected and returned to your raw “cans” for further part production. This ability reduces your waste to almost zero (although the number of times TPE can be reheated is limited), allowing you to get the most out of your Pet Preform Mould material choices.
recycle and re-use
In addition, the quality of TPE provides increased environmental benefits, whether due to less waste or the ability to recycle products made from TPE, such as plastic bottles. In fact, in many cases, certain products require the use of TPE in order to be able to recycle.
Know where TPE can help your bottom line
We have just discussed the efficiency of using waste from TPE and recycling processes for reuse. TPE also offers many other benefits for your investment – ​​some straightforward and some indirect. TPE injection cycles are usually much faster than thermoset plastics, for example, which allows you to produce more products faster and speed up your time to market. TPE also typically uses less energy because the friction of the substrate material injected into the machine helps to heat and liquefy it, requiring less energy than the thermosetting plastic's heating/curing process. Finally, TPE can usually be processed "as is" without the need for large amounts of additives or other supplemental materials required for thermoset processing.
Keep the above in mind when selecting materials for the next (or current) China Pet Bottle injection molding product to see the biggest benefit from your choice.
