Chemical Recycling: Sometimes referred to as advanced or molecular recycling in the plastics world, chemical recycling of composites involves breaking down the composite’s matrix resin into molecular components by pyrolysis or solvolysis, allowing for the recovery of its fiber reinforcement.
Mechanical Recycling: In contrast to chemical recycling, mechanical recycling does not affect the chemistry or composition of the composite being recycled.
Recycling Materials into New Composites: Repurposing manufacturing waste to create new composites prevents it from going into landfills.

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.

The closure with the scavenger can be separated from the PET during recycling and is 100% compatible with the polyolefin closure recycle stream.
