Thermoplastic recycled-content composites can also support a circular economy and help customers further lessen their environmental footprint.
Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy
https://www.avient.com/news/avient-develops-new-dairy-packaging-additive-technology-meet-tio2-restrictions
In recent years, white opaque PET bottles for dairy applications have been under increasing scrutiny for the potential effects their mineral fillers can have on the recycle stream used to create fiber.
Complete with food contact approvals for the European Union and FDA, this new Lactra additive is compatible with the PET recycle stream for fibers, sheet, and strapping.
Testing also shows that in established opaque white PET recycle streams, Lactra products are suitable for closed loop bottle-to-bottle recycling.

Lower-haze PET packaging, less impact on recycle stream
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-04/Maxxam REC Outdoor Plug Socket Case Study_A4.pdf
Utilizing the Social Plastic from Plastic
Bank, two new Maxxam™ REC Recycled Polyolefin
formulations were developed, one in each RAL
color requested.
The new grades were formulated to provide a
functional replacement for the previous used prime
materials while incorporating 50% recycled ocean-
bound plastic content.
The new recycled polyolefins have enabled
the replacement of fossil fuel-based feedstock with
more carbon-friendly recycled ocean-bound plastics.
