This new solution also improves the aesthetics of recycled packaging in terms of haze and color, including a reduction in the yellowing effect that may occur during recycling. Brand owners themselves are committing to increased recycled content beyond these regulations. During recycling, however, aesthetics and oxygen scavenging performance can be affected.

Recycling Enhancer O₂ Scavenging Additive Recycle Solutions EPBP bottle-to-bottle recyclability accredited

Association of Plastic Recyclers It enables greater recycled content by improving the thermal stability of the polymer throughout the recycling process. commented, "This additive changes the game for recycled PET use.

Recycled PET often exhibits yellowing or color variations due to degradation during the recycling process. These additives are developed to withstand multiple recycling loops, helping the recycled material remain visually appealing even after several uses. These additives should not negatively impact the recyclability of PET and should help maintain the integrity of the recycled material.

Avient launches new Cesa™ Non-PFAS Process Aid for PE and PP extrusion applications at NPE 2024, enabling processing performance, productivity, and Super Tough Nylon Formulations Added to Avient’s Recycled Content Portfolio Avient launches new Nymax™ REC recycled content super tough nylon grades with 76-78% PIR content at NPE 2024.

Remafin™ Fiber Colorants for PP Chain Extenders for Recycled PET Fibers Hydrophobic Solutions for PP Nonwovens

Our technologies help to reduce material usage, improve container recyclability, and improve physical performance and reuse potential of recycled materials. Ultimate is recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers and the European PET Bottle Platform for having no negative impact on the recycling stream. Cesa™ NOX A4R Additive for Enhanced Recycling stabilizes recycled polyolefins during processing, enabling a higher quality level of recyclate and better end-use products.

Recycle Solutions 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. The plastic packaging recycling target in Germany will rise to 63% from 2022 and the new law also introduces incentives for packaging producers to incorporate recyclability considerations into their packaging design, and to use recycled or renewable materials.
