Recycle Solutions Provides exceptional recyclability Enhancing the Recyclability of PET via Performance Additives

Recycle Solutions Lower-haze PET packaging, less impact on recycle stream Enhancing the Recyclability of PET via Performance Additives

Recycled raw materials typically contain either post-consumer recycled (PCR) content or post-industrial recycled (PIR) content. Products that require a tight color tolerance can be difficult to match with recycled content.   Examples of this include creating a final product with recycled raw materials, or materials that enable consolidated parts, to ensure the disassembly and recycling are a controlled process.

Improved Recyclability Recycle Solutions Designed for Improved Recyclability

We’re delighted to be introducing our first recycled-content long fiber composite material in a planned larger portfolio based on recycled resin,” said Eric Wollan, General Manager for Long Fiber Technologies at Avient. Historically, it has been a challenge to source streams of recycled resins that are compatible with the pultrusion process used to manufacture long fiber composites.  Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

Eight of the new grades can be overmolded on polypropylene (PP) and the ninth grade bonds to both PP and polyethylene (PE). reSound BIO formulations are a part of Avient’s broader reSound TPE portfolio, which includes both recycled-content and bio-based formulations.
