User experience has been improved, as the new layout is based on the end segments served in footwear (luxury &amp; lifestyle, athletic, and professional), as well as fashion accessories. Trinseo\u2019s sustainable solutions for the industry are also highlighted, emphasizing the company\u2019s commitment to a more environmentally-friendly future for everybody while continuing to innovate.<br \/>\nVisitors to the website will also have an improved overview of the materials dedicated to each segment, including their technical properties and end applications.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the highlights are:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 APILONTM 52 BIO, a range of urethane-based thermoplastic bioplastics (TPE-U or TPU), in both soft and rigid grades, developed to answer needs of the fashion industry for sustainable, ethical resins.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 APILONTM 52 A\/C series, a recyclable TPU that represents the best possible alternative to vulcanized rubber in terms of thermo-abrasion resistance and production efficiencies, reducing production cycle time by up to 70%.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 APILONTM 52 LIGHT, an expandable TPU best suited to the production of midsoles, providing an excellent combination of performance and lightness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe redesigned website is just another step that we are taking towards growing our commitment to the fashion and footwear industry,\u201d said Giancarlo Busa, Global Industry Leader, TPE, Footwear. \u201cWe are proud of our position as a leading materials expert and provider, but that does not mean we will lessen our efforts towards better materials and improved service. We are very proud of our heritage, but the future is what\u2019s most exciting for us.\u201d<br \/>\nThe facility in Mussolente, a trusted supplier for the footwear industry for more than six decades, was acquired by Trinseo in 2017 expanding the breadth of products available for the industry. The factory is positioned at the heart of an area with a rich background of providing materials to the footwear and clothing industries, as well as close to the commercial hub of Venice, nestled in the hills of northern Italy, close to the Dolomite Mountains. The Mussolente plant benefited from this wealth of knowledge and developed a strong history of innovation, such as thermoplastic materials used for ski boots.<\/p>\n<p>About Trinseo<\/p>\n<p>Trinseo (NYSE: TSE) is a global materials solutions provider and manufacturer of plastics, latex binders, and synthetic rubber.
