The solution is EPBP*-accredited for colored bottle-to-bottle recycling, and delivers full oxygen scavenging performance with up to 100% rPET content. The solution is also formulated to increase packaging sustainability; colored bottles containing this additive are classified as recyclable for bottle-to- bottle recycling streams. It is also greatly beneficial to the transparent recycling stream, as a top solution in the current market.

WHAT IT DOES This range of additives offers food contact approved solutions that address these changing market requirements, to help improve existing film properties such as slip, anti-block, anti-static or no-fog. Avient’s anti-static solutions help avoid these problems, while also improving processability and mold release. Cesa™ Nox Additives Cesa Nox antioxidant solutions help plastics maintain shine and transparency while preventing yellowing, surface cracking, and odors often caused by oxidation and heat aging.
