These PCR grades contain 35-45% recycled content from food packaging and are suitable for PP OM. Developed in Europe these grades contain a minimum of 37% PCR content, including from closed loop feedstock. They contain up to 60% recycled content from PCR sources or a combination of PCR and PIR sources.

Designing for e-Commerce: Compared to the traditional retail distribution channel, containers must be redesigned to endure a more rigorous transit journey from production to end-user. Goods such as detergent containers, beverage bottles, and household cleaners must withstand dents and dings and be lightweight for easier shipment.

These innovative infrared-absorbing additives are added to PET resin at the reactor stage to provide an eco boost during the blowing of container preforms. Best practices relating to blowing of preforms containing ColorMatrix™ Joule™ Reheat Additives

Simplifies food packaging operations by reducing the coefficient of friction on thermoformed containers, facilitating easy separation during manufacturing and filling. Reducing the surface friction of PET gains process efficiency and prevents damage to containers

ORLANDO – May 6, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, is proud to announce the addition of new super tough PA6 and PA66 grades to its Nymax™ REC Recycled Nylon Formulations product line, each containing post-industrial recycled content. The PA6 grade contains 76% PIR, and the PA66 grade contains 78% PIR content, resulting in up to 81% lower cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint (PCF) than traditional alternatives made without recycled content.

Beyond these, one clear impact of the pandemic has been on the packaging industry, where vastly increased e-commerce and the focus on hygiene has shown, for example, PET bottles and containers to be an ideal solution to shifting consumer and regulatory trends.   Additionally, new minimum recycled content thresholds will mean that from 2025 there will be a sales ban on PET bottles containing less than 25% recycled plastics, increasing to 30% in 2030. For example, part of the ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ range, Amosorb 4020R is an oxygen scavenger technology that helps maintain full oxygen scavenging functionality, even in bottles containing up to 100% recycled content.

A container will not only be able to independently verify location in real time, but it will also be able to communicate with other containers in near proximity to report on potential diversion activity. For instance a label may contain both a 3D bar code, a hologram and a covert ink or polymer-based solution.
