Rexelian® AU20R5 Finalist at PRSE Awards 2026

Barcelona, February 16, 2026 — Rexelian AU20R5 is a finalist at the PRSE Awards 2026 in the category Automotive, Electrical or Electronic Product of the Year

The nomination of Rexelian AU20R5 at the PRSE Awards 2026 recognises the advancement of high-performance recycled compounds in demanding mobility applications. Moreover, it highlights the increasing role of circular materials in engineering-grade automotive environments.

Rexelian specialises in engineering-grade recycled compounds for the Mobility, Appliances and E&E markets. This recognition confirms the technical maturity and industrial readiness of circular materials developed for high-specification environments.

A 50% PCR High-Performance Polypropylene for Interior Automotive Applications

REXELIAN® AU20R5 is a polypropylene compound containing 50% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and 20% talc filler. It has been developed for non-aesthetic automotive components requiring high stiffness and thermal resistance.

Typical applications include:

  • Engine covers
  • Fan shrouds
  • Air deflectors
  • Chassis covers
  • Radiator supports

REXELIAN® AU20R5 recycled compound delivers:

  • High mechanical performance
  • Excellent thermal resistance
  • Low VOC emissions
  • Good and stable processability

By stabilising PCR polypropylene, , Rexelian AU20R5 ensures consistent mechanical and thermal performance aligned with OEM specifications. As a result, converters can integrate high recycled content into structural, high-temperature automotive parts without compromising performance. This approach directly addresses one of the main industry challenges.

Advancing Engineering-Grade Circularity

The recognition of Rexelian AU20R5 at the PRSE Awards 2026 highlights the role of high-performance recycled compounds in supporting circular vehicle design. At the same time, it reinforces the feasibility of integrating 50% PCR content into demanding applications.

With 50% PCR content, the material contributes to measurable carbon footprint reduction while maintaining the technical standards required by OEMs and Tier suppliers.

“This nomination demonstrates that recycled materials can meet demanding automotive specifications when engineered with precision,” said Antoni Gonzáles, Rexelian Managing Director. “At Rexelian, we develop high-performance recycled compounds that enable circularity without compromising technical performance.”

The winners of the PRSE Awards 2026 will be announced at the Plastics Recycling Show Europe in Amsterdam on 5–6 May 2026.
