Ostrom Recyclates

Ostrom Recyclates contain up to 97% recycled content and can outperform virgin resin. By increasing the demand for recycled resin, we can incentivize the global economy to divert plastic waste away from our landfills. Making products out of recycled plastics saves 50–60% of energy as compared to virgin plastics, due to the difference in the embodied energies of primary production and that of recycling.

Ostrom Recyclates have enhanced polarity and increased flexibility. These composites are suitable for extrusion, coextrusion, injection molding, compression molding, as well as cast and blown film applications.
