GMTX® Xi® RPP – Sustainability Meets Performance
GMTX® Xi® RPP – Sustainability Meets Performance
From Industrial Waste to High-Performance Material
GMTX® Xi® RPP is an innovative Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) made from recycled polypropylene (PP) and wood by-products. Thanks to a patented natural binder, it creates a sustainable material with the processing characteristics of a conventional thermoplastic—without compromising performance or quality.
With a wood fiber content of up to 45%, Xi® combines the natural look and feel of wood with the efficiency of modern plastics processing. The material can be easily processed via injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and 3D printing, without requiring any modifications to existing machines or tools.
