• Inconsistent base color of recycled materials
• Lightest color recycled material in high demand for all applications ($$)
• Even with clear/transparent materials, color degrades over repeated processing
• OpticaTM Toners and Super-concentrated colorants to
reduce and mask recycled material discoloration
• SmartHeatTM reduces heat history to minimize yellowing
• Color Simulation Tool to assist with color space design
• Stabilization of color fluctuation driven by variable recycled polymer
• In-line color correction to optimize customer manufacturing efficiency

1: Color Management
Recycled Material Restricts Color Options
With virgin material, we
can design across a broad
color spectrum
The darker the recycled
materials, the more color
design freedom is restricted
This bright yellow
is not achievable
with high

2: Decontamination
Recycled material feedstocks are contaminated
• Feedstock variability supplies the recycle process
• Insufficient washing at recycler
• Residual labels and printing inks cause quality and NIAS issues
• Unpleasant recycled material odor (in processing and the final application)
• Clean, food grade, recycled material availability in high demand
• Reliable decontamination to reduce NIAS concerns
• Full odor removal
• CESATM Laser Marking to eliminate contaminating printing inks,
labels and glue
• AAzureTM process aids and scavengers to enable food and
beverage taste purity in PET packaging
• ProsureTM range of formulations to enable NIAS compliance and
security (customer peace of mind)
NIAS = Non Intentionally Added Substances
Avient Corporation 43

3: Maintaining Mechanical Properties
• Mechanical properties of recycled materials degrade after multiple heat cycles
• Today's recycling protocols only focus on one recycle loop…in reality, there
will be several
• Legislation and brand owners are targeting higher recycled material ratio
incorporation and full circularity
• Polymer quality stability over multiple loops to deliver circular recyclability
• Stress cracking of recycled bottles
• Upgrading performance of lower quality recycled materials
• Specification and guided selection amongst highly variable recycled materials
• CESATM antioxidants and process aids to enhance
physical properties
• SmartHeatTM reduces heat history to minimize yellowing
• rePrize™ for PET polymer chain repair and extension
Avient Corporation 44
Multi-material packaging is harder to recycle
• Contamination of polymer streams
• Issues in sorting
• Issues in separation
• Trend is to restrict multi-material systems in favor of mono-material constructions
• Improve recyclability of PET gas barriers
• Barrier system development for Polyolefins
• Recyclable barrier systems for film and sheet
• Portfolio of compatibilizers to enable multilayer constructions
• AmosorbTM to extend beverage shelf life by scavenging
oxygen through the bottle wall
• CaptureTM to extend product shelf life through oxygen
scavenging but without contaminating the bottle
• Lactra SX TM to prevent light-induced oxidation in liquid dairy
products stored at higher temperatures
Avient Corporation 45
4: Mono-Material Construction
46
Brand Owners require a consistent brand identity
• Inconsistent quality streams pose a challenge to delivering homogeneous product
quality and aesthetics to the consumer
• Brands demand recycled content, but with color/property consistency
• Recyclers are challenged to fulfill needs from brand owners and convertors
• Specification and selection of recycled material grades for targeted applications
• Simulation of recycled material performance in the end-use application
• Leverage re-formulation expertise to provide a consistent packaging product (color and
mechanical properties)
Our Service and Color Expertise differentiate Avient and allow
us to support customers throughout the entire design process
• Design for use: Color matching, Color design options
• Recycle lot selection
• Improving mechanical properties
• Improving material processing
Closer customer collaboration to support recycle efforts
