Therpol® Technology: An advance innovative solution

Transforming Plastic Waste into High Performance Green Materials

At B.G.S. International, Therpol® is our most advanced materials innovation for plastics. Designed as a “recycle agent”—a 2-in-1 modifier and compatibilizer—Therpol® enables manufacturers to unlock the value of difficult-to-recycle plastics, including mixed polymers, multilayer films, automotive scraps, and electronic waste.

​

Therpol® is the first technology to employ natural rubber from rubber-tree latex as both a plastic modifier and a compatibilizer. It delivers high elasticity, strong mechanical performance, soft touch, and excellent low-temperature resistance while improving melt flow for extrusion and injection. As a bio-thermoplastic resin, it also enables previously incompatible polymers—spanning non-polar and polar families such as olefins (PP, PE), styrenics (PS, ABS), polyamides, polyesters (PET), PVC, and PLA—to blend and perform reliably.

The business-ready route to circular plastic transformation -practical and scalable-

with Therpol®

Circular transformation moves from concept to execution. Global demand for recycled plastics continues to rise, yet much post-consumer and post-industrial waste remains underused due to complexity and contamination. Therpol® changes this by compatibilizing hard-to-recycle streams—including multilayer packaging and mixed polar/non-polar resins—restoring mechanical strength, flexibility, and impact resistance, and elevating recycled compounds to match or surpass virgin performance. Building on Therpol®, B.G.S. provides practical, scalable pathways to net-zero and EPR compliance and offers a highly efficient way to convert in-house scrap into premium, low-carbon feedstock—delivering measurable cost reductions and strengthening sustainability positioning.

Business Opportunity in Circular Plastic Transformation

The global demand for recycled plastics is growing, yet most post-consumer and post-industrial plastic waste remains underutilized due to complexity and contamination. Therpol® changes that. By restoring mechanical performance, flexibility, and impact resistance, Therpol® enables recycled plastics to match or even outperform virgin alternatives—offering substantial cost savings, carbon footprint reduction,

and brand positioning advantages.

Key Applications of Therpol®

 

Automotive:

Roof liners, wheel covers, front grills, and bumpers made from recycled PP, ABS, or nylon

 

Consumer Goods:

Trash bins, organizers, and household products using unidentified or blended plastics

 

Packaging:

High-performance film and thermoformed containers from multilayer or composite waste

 

E-Waste:

ABS and HIPS components recovered from electronics, made reprocessable with Therpol®

 

Furniture & Lifestyle:

Products made from upcycled textiles and fibers (e.g., jeans + PCR plastics)

Performance Outcomes

- Improves impact resistance and elongation of recycled materials

- Enables polar and non-polar polymer blending (e.g., PP + PET, ABS + PS)

- Reduces the need for virgin resin in critical applications

- Compatible with standard processing techniques: injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming​

Case Study: Therpol® in Action — Multilayer Film Recycling

A breakthrough method for recycling “Others 7” plastics—traditionally deemed non-recyclable—using a novel mechanochemical process

that eliminates the need for delamination. The approach addresses multilayer packaging with or without foil and transforms these wastes into environmentally responsible recycled pellets: rMLF for multilayer film without foil and rMLF-F for multilayer film with foil.

Therpol® is available through:

• Material supply: pellets and masterbatch

• Consulting and R&D services: application development, trials, and scale-up support
