Rejoin™ PCR Colorants – allows 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging by using PCR as a carrier resin. Plastics Pact 2023 Sustainable Packaging Innovation Award for Recyclability. Unique  technologies  that  improve  the  recyclability  of  products  and  enable  recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy  

ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ Oxyloop-1 O2 Scavenging Additive to Enhance Recycling Part of the ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ range, ColorMatrix Amosorb Oxyloop-1 is a recycling enhancer oxygen scavenging additive formulated to achieve leading results in terms of bottle-to-bottle recyclability. The solution is also formulated to increase packaging sustainability; colored bottles containing this additive are classified as recyclable for bottle-to- bottle recycling streams. In addition, governments are legislating for increased use of recycled material in single-use packaging.

Recycled raw materials: polymers – containing post-industrial recycled (PIR) or post-consumer recycled (PCR) content – that start as petroleum-based and are placed in either cut-off or open loop recycling streams. Cut-off streams are typically for raw materials that are recycled and manufactured again to make the same polymer. Open-loop recycling streams typically consist of raw materials that are recycled and manufactured to make a variety of new products – splitting the allocated carbon emissions amongst the raw material supplier and the polymer manufacturer. 

For example, a TPE that can bond to PC does not bond to PP, vice versa. The failure mode is cohesive on PP and adhesive on all other substrates. TPE-1A adhesion values overmolded onto PP, PC and ABS over a wide range of melt temperatures.

reSound™ R post-industrial recycle (PIR) and post-consumer recycle (PCR) TPEs help brand owners create sustainable end-user products. These injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored. It promotes the use of quality plastic recyclates and offers concrete advice on developing innovative, recyclable products and packaging.

The cycle time in injection molding can be reduced (10–15% in PP) to support higher output and less energy consumption.

SOLUTION BULLETIN Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) Color Prediction Service A Digital Tool to Support PCR Resin Coloration CHALLENGES IN COLORING PCR With rising EU-wide targets to incorporate greater quantities of recycled plastics in packaging items, solutions are required that improve the quality of the recyclate so that higher quantities of PCR can be utilized within a circular economy approach. Inconsistent streams mean that PCR resin quality varies from virgin to recycled or from recycled to recycled, creating color deviation for existing products. Lightest colored recycled materials are therefore in high demand for all applications, limiting market availability.
