Lower-Haze PET Packaging, Less Impact on Recycle Stream

Lower impact on PET recycle stream

Consumers and investors alike are paying close attention to plastic packaging
and its potential negative impact on the environment.
In 2019, the EU enacted its Single Use Plastics directive aimed at reducing
the impact that such products have on the environment.
Special additives
like peroxides, antioxidants, chain extenders, elastomers, colorants and
performance modifiers can be added to rPET during processing to achieve
these properties and remedy cross-contamination, discoloring or any other
impurities.

Gravi-Tech™ BIO Bio-Based Formulations
Gravi-Tech™ BIO bio-based formulations are density
modified engineered polymers that contain partially
bio-based resin from renewable plant sources.
They offer a more sustainable alternative to density
modified grades based on prime/virgin polymers.
These polymer formulations have been developed
to achieve equivalent performance to prime density
modified solutions with added sustainability
benefits.
