Fender-Flare from Up-Cycled PET

This injection-molded PC/PBT fender flare uses resin sourced from depolymerized PET water bottles that have been repolymerized and compounded into PBT, diverting over 200 water bottles from landfills per vehicle and reducing CO2 emissions by 80% vs. traditional virgin resin. This is also the first exterior use of a depolymerized / repolymerized post-consumer recycled resin on a passenger vehicle.
