Another color-related challenge is the multitude of different color streams of
recycled PET, which can limit the uses for recycled colored PET.
Colored PET—As manufacturers look to transfer packaging away from less recycled
polymers to PET, there is an expectation that color will remain an important brand
differentiator on the shelves.
In many instances,
these colored bottles may offer an outlet to utilize some of the less transparent rPET
feedstock as the colorant can mask the original recyclate color.

It permits black
polymers to be detected by near infrared (NIR)
automatic sorting equipment, enabling recycling.
Automatic
sorting equipment relies on the reflectance of NIR
wavelengths to identify polymers and properly
sort packaging waste by plastic material.
In the
presence of carbon black, currently used to color
most black packaging, all the wavelengths are
absorbed and black polymers can’t be identified,
inevitably keeping black packaging out of recycling
streams at considerable cost to our environment.

The hose manufacturer decided to explore other material options that would meet requirements such as excellent colorability, good surface appearance, high flow for optimal productivity, and of course, compliance with U.S.
In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs.
