Scenarios for 2030 predict that of the 1300kt of PET material coming from PET bottles collected from the market yearly, between 20 to 30% will be colored bottles;2 these will enter their respective sorting and collection systems to ultimately produce rPET material that will be fed as new raw material for non-food PET applications. Providing solutions that are considered recyclable within the colored bottle stream will thus be an integral part of the recyclability strategy for both convertors and brand owners. It was also demonstrated that usage of a reduced amount of color, namely 0,045% of Fortis Amber-1, allows the production of bottles (Bottle C) that closely resembles the original bottles (Bottle A).
