PRODUCT NEWS - SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION IN ACTION

Recycled Nylon Fasteners

As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, TR is actively trialling a new range of Nylon fastening products made from recycled materials—including waste textiles, discarded fishing nets, and automotive airbags

 

These advanced materials can achieve up to 90% reduction in CO2e emissions, while maintaining at least 80% of the mechanical performance of virgin-grade plastics. In many cases, these products are performing at or above industry standards.

  • 100% recycled content
  • 90% reduction in CO2e
  • 80–90% performance versus non-sustainable plastic
