Effective solutions exist to keep your packaging clear, and recent developments make it easier than ever to do so.

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.  

However, even when there is a clear trend, it is possible to find aesthetics that stand out from the rest because of the complex nature of human beings.

This certification demonstrates that the polymer solutions produced at this site use the mass balance approach to certify bio-derived feedstock materials with reliable traceability, clear identification of feedstock sources, and accurate sustainability claims.

The market requirements for colored, high-performance polymers are clear: you have to react quickly and also be able to supply various volumes of colored material,” says Anne Hippert, general manager, Colorant Chromatics at Avient.
