Sustainability Without Compromise
VanTech® isn’t just built to perform — it’s built to protect our planet.
- Fully Recyclable — Designed for compatibility with HDPE recycling streams, eliminating costly teardown or separation steps.
- Circular Economy Ready — When your program ends, VanTech® can be recovered, reprocessed, and reused — closing the loop and reducing waste.
- Lower Carbon Footprint — Lighter weight means reduced transportation emissions, and longer lifecycle means fewer replacements.
- Proven Waste Reduction — Diverts material from landfills by re-entering production as high-quality feedstock.
Better for business. Better for the environment. With VanTech®, sustainability is built in — and we take it a step further with a guaranteed buy-back program.

Is It Time to Rethink TPU?
Absolutely — meet VanTech®, the patented, next-generation material engineered to give you everything you expect from TPU… and a whole lot more.
Developed by Vantage Plastics, VanTech® delivers superior durability, lighter weight, and genuine recyclability without sacrificing the flexibility and impact resistance industries rely on. Independent, industry-standard testing has shown it to outperform TPU in surface integrity and abrasion endurance, while also reducing overall program costs.
Why Make the Switch?
- Performance Edge - Proven through rigorous testing to stand up to repeated wear and tear longer than TPU, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
- Lightweight Design - Up to 25% lighter for easier handling, reduced shipping weight, and improved ergonomics in end-use applications.
- Compatibly Recyclable - Fully recyclable with HDPE streams — no special teardown or sorting required — supporting a circular economy.
- Cost Efficiency - Designed to simplify manufacturing processes and lower total lifecycle costs by using fewer materials and streamlining production.
- Cross-Industry Applications - From automotive trays to wire & cable, industrial components, footwear, and consumer goods — if TPU can do it, VanTech® can do it better.
The Bottom Line
VanTech® isn’t just an alternative — it’s an upgrade. With patented innovation behind it and the backing of Vantage Plastics’ decades of manufacturing expertise, VanTech® offers companies a way to improve performance, lower costs, and achieve sustainability goals in one move.
