To support the principles of a circular economy, however, there is a clear need to increase the use of recycled PET (rPET) and reduce our carbon footprint; but achieving this is not without its challenges. We offer solutions that allow for higher use rates while also reducing carbon emissions, helping to improve the sustainability of the PET bottle and drive the circular economy. Color consistency; recycle stream impact ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat RHC Tint or SmartHeat RHC Tone Recycle-friendly color or toner containing SmartHeat RHC, which helps to reduce carbon emissions and improve the quality and performance of rPET, allowing for higher levels of rPET to be used.
