The bio-based content of the carrier resin varies from 70% to 95% and even 100% in some cases. Bio-based content of carrier resin between 70-100%

Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Color Prediction Service - a digital service using sophisticated technology to help illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of PCR for customers, including polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins. By incorporating such additives early in the recycling process or blending them with virgin resin, the degradation of material can be significantly reduced, ensuring the quality and performance of recycled plastics.
