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. We provide customers with additives, scavengers, and toners that improve the quality of recycled PET. SmartHeat RHC, for example, is a process aid for use in PET bottles and is particularly beneficial when using rPET.
