A modified thermoplastic polyester elastomer and a breathable and waterproof membrane are provided. The modified thermoplastic polyester elastomer is formed from a thermoplastic polyester elastomer, a regenerated polyethylene terephthalate, and a compatibilizer. Based on a total weight of the modified thermoplastic polyester elastomer being 100 phr, a content of the regenerated polyethylene terephthalate is greater than 0 phr and up to 50 phr. Based on a total weight of the thermoplastic polyester elastomer being 100 wt %, the thermoplastic polyester elastomer includes 25 wt % to 75 wt % of hard segments and 25 wt % to 75 wt % of soft segments.

Disclosed herein are a plastic article exhibiting long term stability at elevated temperatures of about 150° C., resistance to degradation under UV and visible light exposure and resistance to discoloration upon exposure to fumes (such as the kind originating from other vehicles or during warehouse storage). Also disclosed herein are stabilizer additive compositions that may be incorporated into a plastic article to effectuate said performance.
