KRAIBURG TPE Materials Bring the Scent of Sustainability to Aroma Diffusers

• Sustainable thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) with recycled content support eco-friendly aroma diffuser production

• THERMOLAST® R series offers durability, flexibility, and reduced carbon footprint

• Increasing demand for wellness products drives innovation in diffuser materials

Aroma diffusers have become essential lifestyle products, enhancing indoor environments with natural scents while supporting wellness trends such as stress relief and sleep therapy. With rising demand, manufacturers are focusing on both functionality and sustainability.

KRAIBURG TPE introduces its THERMOLAST® R series, an advanced range of thermoplastic elastomers designed with recycled content to reduce environmental impact. These materials provide excellent mechanical performance while supporting sustainability goals in modern product design.

The THERMOLAST® R series includes compounds with 9–38% post-consumer recycled content and hardness ranging from 30–90 Shore A. These materials are ideal for diffuser components such as outer casings and button covers, offering durability without compromising eco-performance.

In addition to sustainability, the materials offer high design flexibility. Manufacturers can choose from soft-touch, smooth, or high-friction textures to enhance user experience. Anti-slip properties also improve safety and usability.

The compounds meet global safety standards, including FDA compliance, and are certified under the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), ensuring responsible sourcing and high product quality.

Color customization options allow manufacturers to create visually appealing designs with natural or vibrant tones, enhancing product aesthetics in consumer markets.

KRAIBURG TPE will showcase its innovations at CHINAPLAS 2026 (21–24 April, Shanghai), where visitors can explore material solutions and receive expert consultation on sustainable product development.

Sustainability remains central to KRAIBURG TPE’s strategy. The company offers bio-based and recycled-content TPEs, supports carbon footprint transparency, and aligns with global climate initiatives. Recognized with the EcoVadis Gold Medal, the company continues to lead in sustainable material innovation.

These advancements position KRAIBURG TPE as a key partner for manufacturers seeking high-performance, environmentally responsible materials for modern consumer applications.
