It reduces carbon emissions while also reducing preform AA, which helps to minimize the risk of off-taste in bottle contents.
ColorMatrix AAzure allows for further optimization in the bottle blowing process, producing a better quality bottle with improved mechanical strength, while also reducing carbon emissions.
