Recycle Solutions Improves the mechanical performance of mixed PP/PE streams Design for Recycling

Increase Sustainability Using More Recycled Content OnColor SC Super Concentrates give you the flexibility to incorporate higher levels of post- consumer regrind (PCR) than with traditional color masterbatches to help meet sustainability initiatives and recycled content requirements without adversely affecting the performance or aesthetic of your designs. Improve color usage efficiency with increased pigment density • Drop-in solution compatible with your current process • Incorporate higher loadings of PCR while maintaining color design aesthetic TARGET MARKET AND APPLICATIONS Compatible with: • PE, PP or PET multi-layer containers • Extrusion blow molding • Injection molding (caps and closures) PRODUCT BULLETIN NO SURPRISES PLEDGESM At Avient, we are committed to helping you grow your business with safe and environmentally sound solutions.

Homepage // News Center // Avient Joint Study with Borealis Reveals Wide Range of Color Options for Recycled Plastics The study also demonstrated that using Borcycle M grades along with Avient’s OnColor™ near-infrared (NIR) detectable colorants can produce a recyclable, neutral black which enables better automatic sorting for recycling. Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

STARTUP & SHUTDOWN RECOMMENDATIONS Purge Compound HDPE or HIPS Recycling Recycling Stat-Tech up to 20% is permissible. Testing the application is highly recommended to determine the effect recycling has on the desired physical properties. Cut vent depths to: - PC Compounds: 0.001"–0.002" depth and 0.250" width - PC/PSU Compounds: 0.002"–0.003" depth and 0.250" width - PES Compounds: 0.003"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width - PEI Compounds: 0.001"–0.003" depth and 0.250" width - PP Compounds: 0.001"–0.002" depth and 0.250" width - ABS Compounds: 0.0015"–0.0025" depth and 0.250" width - PEEK Compounds: 0.002"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width - Nylon Compounds: 0.002" min. depth and 0.250" width • Increase vent depth to 0.040" (1.0mm) at 0.250" (4.0mm) away from the cavity and vent to atmosphere.

The demonstration plant mimics real world recycling in a research environment.  What role do color and additives play in recyclability? CycleWorks further strengthens our recycling focus and ability to enable our partners’ recyclability goals.”    

The antioxidant can be added to PCR content early in the recycling process or incorporated in virgin resin to prepare it for future recycling.  Cesa Nox A4R Additives for Recycling deliver excellent value. Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

Processing Styrenic Block Copolymer TPEs from GLS™ Gray Matter Remafin™ Fiber Colorants for PP

Brand owners for all types of consumer products are setting sustainability goals to increase the amount of post-consumer recycled content (PCR) used in their packaging and improve the recyclability of that packaging at end of use. ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Toners & Colors, when added to PET and recycled PET (rPET) materials, correct and reduce the color variations and yellowing that occurs during the recycling process. The ability to use recycled content is a priority for our customers and for our world,"

Avient helped achieve this success by developing customized versions of its Maxxam™ REC Recycled Polyolefin Formulations, which contain 50% recycled ocean-bound plastic content, using Social Plastic® feedstock from Plastic Bank. Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy     They are a social enterprise based in Vancouver, Canada, empowering a Social Recycling movement.
