What is Classed as Recycled Content Infographic_Select WHAT IS RECYCLED CONTENT? MATERIALLIFECYCLE GLOSSARY OF TERMS Material Manufacturer - Raw material suppliers or processors who produce materials ready for manufacturing Reworkable Material - O� spec or scrap materials that are re-ground or re-worked back into the same supply or manufacturing process that produced them – these are not considered recycled Prime - Materials supplied that meet the required specification, ready for processing/ manufacturing Processor - Manufacturing of products ready for market e.g. molders and extruders Retail/Consumer - End user Reclaimer - Local recycling center for consumer goods Post-Consumer Recycle (PCR) - Materials derived from polymers reclaimed at the end of their lifecycle that have been through waste treatment Scrap Parts & Materials - Waste from the manufacturing process that cannot be reused within the same process or sold to the market Waste Treater - Regional industrial waste reclamation center Post-Industrial Recycle (PIR) - Material derived from scrap reclaimed within the manufacturing process that has been through waste treatment PRIME POST- CONSUMER RECYCLE (PCR) WASTE TREATER POST- INDUSTRIAL RECYCLE (PIR) REWORKABLE MATERIAL RETAIL/ CONSUMER RECLAIMER MATERIAL MANUFACTURER SCRAP PARTS & MATERIALS PROCESSOR

reSound™ REC Recycled Content TPEs – AF 7210 Series Recycled TPEs for Automotive Interiors Sustainability continues to be a key driver in the automotive industry. OEMs and tier-one suppliers strive to reduce vehicle weight and incorporate more recycled materials into parts. Developed in response to the increased need for recycled materials the AF 7210 series of reSound™ REC TPEs incorporates a minimum of 51% recycled content, 37% from post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources, including closed-loop feedstock.

Oxygen scavenger reduces PET haze and improves recyclability for consumer packaging in the circular economy. Additionally, it can be easily recycled multiple times unlike alternative packaging materials. To support the shift toward a circular economy, governments are legislating increased levels of recycled material in single-use packaging.

Avoid the use styrenic materials – Low shrinkage PP grades provide an ABS alternative. Incorporate recycled content – With Gravi-Tech REC grades you can add up to 98% recycled content. Utilize existing molds – Replace current ABS solutions with low shrinkage PP grades and utilize your existing molds GT5200- 0013 GT7300- 0006 GT7300- 0010 PVD 2.0 GT5200- 0016 PVD 3.0 GT5200- 5025 GT7300- 5020 NATURAL FD GT5200- 5009 BLACK SO FD GT5200- 5044 GT5200- 5016 X2 BLACK FD GT7300- 5007 X1 WHITE FD GT7300- 5003 BLACK FD GT5200- 5003 BLACK FD GRV PP- 030-IO BLACK FD GT5200- 5068 X2 BLACK FD GT5200- 5009 X5 BLACK SO GT7300- 5021 NATURAL FD GT7300- 5003 BLACK FD GT5200- 5003 BLACK FD GRV PP- 030-IO BLACK FD CI GT5200- 5089 NATURAL C GT5200- 5082 BLACK Specific Gravity* 2 2 2 3 1.25 1.6 1.85 2 2 2.2 2.5 2.5 3 1.20 1.90 2.2 2.50 2.50 3.0 1.20 1.20 Electroplating No Yes Possibly Possibly Possibly Yes Yes Yes No Possibly Possibly Yes No Yes Yes Yes Not tested Not tested Not tested Yes Yes Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)/Vacuum Metallization Possibly Possibly Yes Yes Possibly Possibly Possibly Possibly Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Possibly Possibly Possibly Yes Yes Yes Possibly Possibly Base Resin PP ABS ABS PP PP ABS PP PP PP ABS ABS PP PP PP PP ABS ABS PP PP rPP (ocean bound) rPP (PCR) Base Color White Black Grey Black Natural Natural Black Beige Black White Black Black Black Black Black Natural/ Beige Black Black Black Natural Black FDA Compliant* Yes Yes Yes Yes No Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No Filled Mineral Mineral Mineral Metallic Mineral Mineral Mineral Mineral Metallic Mineral Metallic Metallic Metallic Mineral Mineral Mineral Metallic Metallic Metallic Mineral Mineral Region Produced North America North America North America North America Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.

Capture is recognized by the Association of Plastics Recyclers (APR) to meet Critical Guidance based upon its recyclability with PET bottles. During the sorting process, the closure is separated from the PET bottle and recycled with the polyolefin stream. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Extends product shelf life and reduces waste • Maintains clarity and aesthetics of the bottle while keeping contents fresh • Located in the closure, eliminating the need to add a scavenger to the container wall • Allows unlimited design freedom, including lightweighting • Has achieved APR Critical Guidance Recognition • Allows up to 100% rPET usage • Does not negatively impact the PET or polyolefin recycle streams PRODUCT BULLETIN PROCESSING PARTICULARS Capture is designed to work with 1-piece HDPE and PP plug seal closures.

Homepage // News Center // PlanetPak™ Delivery System Reduces Waste and Improves Recyclability With a design that features a corrugated cardboard outer box, PlanetPak also includes a recyclable 25-liter (5.5 gallon) polyethylene inner liner. Once the contents have been consumed, boxes and liners are easily flattened for recycling. 

For example, a TPE that can bond to PC does not bond to PP, vice versa. The failure mode is cohesive on PP and adhesive on all other substrates. Jiren Gu and Krishna Venkataswamy, “Block Copolymer Compositions for Overmolding any TPE, US patent filed, March 2004. 3.

According to leading market research firms, in-demand barrier technologies affect not only shelf life, but also brand integrity, product aesthetics, lightweighting, and ultimately, recyclability. Our packaging customers are continually seeking novel ways to improve recyclability and increase sustainability, while maintaining or extending product protection and shelf life," said View original content:http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/polyone-barrier-technologies-enable-sustainability-and-recyclability-in-packaging-300642224.html
