Another color-related challenge is the multitude of different color streams of recycled PET, which can limit the uses for recycled colored PET. Fortunately, there is new technology that can analyze the color of the PET or rPET to be used for a new product and predict the range of colors possible for the end product. 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.

Smartbatch™ FX for Paint Replacement The replacement of paint on plastic parts with molded-in color (MIC) has several benefits. With MIC the incorporation of color with a color concentrate during the manufacturing of plastic components reduces the number of processing steps and complexity. Since the color is incorporated into the plastic matrix, it also prevents color peel-off and flaking.
