OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants Near Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging OnColor™ NIR Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for recyclable 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. OnColor NIR sortable black and dark colored solutions have been formulated to ensure black and dark packaging is detectable by current waste sorting equipment.

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. OnColor NIR Sortable Colorants have been formulated to ensure black and dark packaging is detectable by current waste sorting equipment.

With the recognition, OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants are preferred for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin in black and dark colors, according to the APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability. Dark packaging, traditionally using colorants containing carbon black, is a popular choice for brand owners. NIR sortable black and dark colorants became eligible for MPG recognition by the APR in October 2022.

Detection and sorting of carbon black-filled plastic waste in material recovery facilities is a vexing issue for the packaging and recycling industries, because the equipment relies on the reflectance of near infrared (NIR) wavelengths. PolyOne’s new black colorants address this issue by eliminating carbon black and enabling black plastics to be sensed, sorted, and recycled efficiently.

Likewise, black polymers are difficult to recycle using automatic sorting equipment, but special colorants can permit black packaging to be detected and recycled. OnColor™ IR Sortable Black - Black colorant that allows black polymers to be detected by near infrared (NIR) sorting equipment, enabling recycling.

This is mainly due to carbon black content. We offer near-infrared (NIR) black and dark colorants for polypropylene and polyester that help detect and sort the plastic into the relevant polymer stream. These colorants originally developed for black packaging can be used for the black and dark coloration of appliance plastic parts to ensure they are recycled and not wasted.

When used in place of traditional carbon black, OnColor RC Environmental Black maintains expected performance levels in plastics.
