Lower-Haze PET Packaging, Less Impact on Recycle Stream Recycle Solutions Lower impact on PET recycle stream

We also completed the divestiture of Performance Products & Solutions (PP&S) and announced an agreement to acquire Clariant’s Masterbatch business. In October, we divested our PP&S segment, which consisted predominately of the Geon® vinyl business, for $775 million. Approximately 60% of our waste last year was recycled or beneficially used.

Earning the GRS 4.0 accreditation allows for the traceability of recycled content, and helps make it easier for customers to increase the amount of recycled material up to 100% in end products. The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an international, voluntary, full-product standard that sets requirements for third-party certification of recycled content, chain of custody, social and environmental practices, and chemical restrictions. Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ PET Blue Toners & Colors: developed for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins and preforms, designed to enhance recyclability and reduce yellowing that occurs during the recycling process. Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified PP-Based Formulations: new, high-impact metallization grades developed to replace die-cast or machined metals while delivering the look and weighted feel of metal in premium brand applications. Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy    

ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ SolO2: a recyclable solution Recyclability has become a fundamental requirement for convertors and brand owners. 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. Avient undertook a recyclability study to show how bottles containing 0.09% Fortis Amber-1 and 4% Amosorb SolO2-2 achieve optimal results when going through two full loops of recycling.

While polypropylene (PP) is widely accepted in the packaging industry, it has higher shrinkage rates than ABS, making it challenging to use as a direct replacement for existing molds.   To enable customers to use their existing ABS molds, Avient has developed new PP-based grades with comparable shrinkage to traditionally used ABS materials.

If local and regional customers require, these Complēt and OnForce formulations can be tailored to meet specific application requirements by utilizing a range of engineering resins, from polypropylene (PP) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) to polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and polyphthalamide (PPA) for power tools, sports equipment, utility vehicle, furniture, and outdoor recreation applications.

OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants Near-Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants for recyclable black and dark packaging promotes correct sorting and recycling of dark polymers. This solution permits black and dark color polymers to be detected by near-infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment, enabling subsequent recycling. It is well known that detection and sorting of black or dark packaging in material recovery facilities is a complex issue affecting the packaging and recycling industries extensively.
