As legislation sets new targets for increasing the recycled content in plastic packaging, safeguarding the quality of rPET is critical, especially for food-contact applications. Designing additives and recycling processes with circularity in mind is essential for the future of sustainable plastic packaging. The journey is challenging, but with continuous innovation and a commitment to sustainability, a circular economy for plastics is achievable.

For example, consider the Airbump® plastic impact panels on the doors and bumpers of the Citroën C4 Cactus. Engineered plastic compounds that can meet or exceed the properties and appearances of metal are creating even more opportunities for plastic parts to take over as an incumbent material.
