However, recycling virgin PET into rPET presents several challenges that can affect the final product's quality, processability, and safety. For example, anthranilamide (ATA)-based acetaldehyde (AA) scavengers, commonly used in PET, can deposit on the molds during injection molding. This provides minimal effect on color shift and product safety.
