(1)Non-Toxic & Safe
TPE is free from PVC, phthalates, and heavy metals, making it a safer alternative for direct skin contact and indoor use.

(2)Recyclable & Low Waste
As a thermoplastic material, TPE can be fully recycled through melting and reprocessing, reducing landfill waste compared to traditional rubber.

(3)Reduced Carbon Footprint
TPE production consumes less energy than vulcanized rubber, and its lightweight nature lowers transportation emissions.

(4)Biodegradable Options
Some TPE variants are blended with plant-based polymers (e.g., corn starch), enhancing biodegradability under industrial composting conditions.

(5)Durability = Less Replacement
High abrasion resistance extends product lifespan, indirectly reducing environmental impact from frequent replacements.
