New Solutions... Renewable Green TPU
Designers from the Sport, Footwear, Electronics or the Automotive industry among others, can now move from TPU or TPE to BIO TPUs. - a Unique invention from Merquinsa recently awarded by Frost & Sullivan with the “Green Excellence Award of the Year”.
BIO TPUs are renewable-sourced materials and recyclable materials (plant based, up to 90%) offering outstanding flexibility, endurance and mitigating global warming.
According to an independent preliminary life cycle analysis, manufacturing BIO TPU contributes up to 40% less global warming emissions.
