R-Series: Mechanical Recycling Solutions for the Electronics & Electrical Industry

The Electronics & Electrical industry is driving the shift toward sustainable materials, requiring solutions that reduce carbon footprints without compromising safety, performance, or design. The R-Series of polycarbonates and blends meets this demand by transforming post-consumer waste into material solutions.

From Waste to Resource – Meeting E&E Industry Needs

Through mechanical recycling, end-of-life plastics such as water bottles, construction sheets, and automotive headlamps are collected, cleaned, shredded, and reprocessed into high-quality PCR granules. 

This process enables brand new electronic devices to use Covestro materials that contain up to 90% recycled plastic.

Customers can already choose from a broad portfolio of impact resistant Makrolon® R grades and tough, flame retardant Bayblend® R blends. 

 Applications of the R-Series in the Electrical and Electronics Industry

Brands such as Jabra and Roborock, according to case studies conducted with R-products from Covestro, are already using the R-Series in more sustainable devices. Jabra integrates Bayblend® FR3010 R75 with 75% recycled content into ear cushion housings of its Evolve2 headset series, resulting in a reported halving the CO emissions while ensuring durability, chemical resistance against skin oils and cosmetics, and premium aesthetics. 

The R-Series also enables Roborock to incorporate recycled polycarbonates into robotic vacuum cleaners, ensuring impact strength, flame retardancy, and long-term reliability in demanding household environments.
