This solution addresses challenges associated with increased recycled PET (rPET) content, focusing on improving recyclability and enhancing bottle quality. This technology addresses challenges associated with recycling incompatible polymers like polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) by forming a homogenous polymer mixture, increasing mechanical properties, and bridging the gap between virgin and recycled polymers. Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy  

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 

Examples include: • Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high- performance materials that require less plastic • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation • Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater, improve the recyclability of materials and advance a circular economy • Composite solutions to support accelerated growth of 5G / fiber-optic infrastructure investment as the world demands greater and faster connectivity Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.

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. Venting • Place vents at the end of fill and anywhere potential knit/weld lines will occur. • All vents need to be vented to atmosphere. • For circular parts, full perimeter venting is recommended. • 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.
