Trinseo : future-Focused TPU Solutions for Footwear

The company’s portfolio of bio-based and recycled TPEs and TPUs enables OEMs and molders to move away from traditional materials—without sacrificing quality and processability.

A key innovation is in particular APILON™ 52 ECO, a family of recycled TPU compounds containing up to 70% recycled content (certified under ISO 14021 and GRS). These grades match prime TPU in durability, flexibility, and processability, and are available in ester, ether, and ester-ether chemistries. Specific grades feature haptic finishes, rubbery, matte textures that enhance both appearance and quality.

Thanks to Trinseo’s capability in color development, APILON™ 52 ECO can be developed colored on specific request.

Trinseo is committed to transparency and collaboration, as demonstrated by its certifications:

– Global Recycled Standard (GRS): Confirms the integrity of recycled content and ethical sourcing practices · 

– ISCC Plus: Validates the traceability of bio-based and recycled feedstocks, for our mass balance grades

–  Product Carbon Footprint data available
