BASF: ready for recycling with easy-to-melt polyurethane foams

PU systems equipped with thermoplastic properties. PU for footwear that can be melted.

Already a unique property in the world of thermoplastics such as Elastollan® (TPU) and Infinergy® (E-TPU). Today, Elastopan® PU systems also enjoy the same property.

So, soles, shoe components or even complete polyurethane shoes can be directly sent for mechanical recycling.

Combinations of PU, TPU and E-TPU can also be recycled without the need for separation.
