Plastics Recycling | Which logo should I use for TPE?

Hello

I have designed a part that I will have injected in TPE.

According to recycling standards, the logo of the material must be put on the part (PET, HDPE, PVC, LDPE, PP, PS and others).

The TPE does not appear  in the list. Do you know in which family it should be classified?

thank you in advance!!

Hello

As thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are compounds made from a hard thermoplastic material such as PP, PBT or PA, I would say the 5 PP or 7 OTHER family.

I'm not an expert in this matter, I'm just telling you what I think about your question.

I hope I have made progress on the issue.

Thank you RasDessin14 for your answer.

By searching on the net, I also come to the same thing PP or OTHER.

I'm continuing my research ;-)

If our friend and colleague @Obi One goes through this, he will know how to answer the first time.
