Rejoin™ PCR Colorants
Rejoin™ PCR Colorants use post-consumer recycled
(PCR) material as a carrier resin to effectively
enable 100% PCR packaging..
It replaces virgin
resin in the process, allowing brand owners to
achieve their most aggressive sustainability
goals—a bottle or part manufactured with 100%
PCR.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Enables 100% PCR packaging
• Helps companies meet sustainability goals
• Replaces virgin resin, reducing total energy
consumption and limiting emissions*
• Combines colorants and functional additives
in one solution
• Allows for full recyclability of the end product
• Provides a lower carbon product footprint
than traditional masterbatch
• Suitable for use in polyethylene (PET) and
polypropylene (PP) as well as in rPET and rPP
applications
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Rejoin PCR Colorants are designed for use in a
broad range of applications, including household
and personal care packaging, consumer goods,
or food and beverage containers.

Data shows
Capture does not affect the polyolefin stream even
when it consists of 100% Capture closures.
Capture
maintains PET clarity and allows up to 100% rPET
usage to help brands achieve their goals.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Extends product shelf life and reduces
waste
• Maintains clarity and aesthetics of the bottle
while keeping contents fresh
• Located in the closure, eliminating the need
to add a scavenger to the container wall
• Allows unlimited design freedom, including
lightweighting
• Has achieved APR Critical Guidance Recognition
• Allows up to 100% rPET usage
• Does not negatively impact the PET or polyolefin
recycle streams
PRODUCT BULLETIN
PROCESSING PARTICULARS
Capture is designed to work with 1-piece
HDPE and PP plug seal closures.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-08/2030-goals-2020-sustainability-report.pdf
By 2030, Avient will enable 100% of our products manufactured
for packaging applications to be recyclable or reusable to
advance the circular economy.
By 2030, Avient will obtain directly or contract for 60% of its
electricity demand from renewable sources and achieve 100%
renewable energy by 2050.
We also expanded our goals to achieve 60% renewable energy by 2030,
100% by 2050, and began the process to apply for membership into the
RE100 initiative and requirements.

The technology
addresses the limitations of traditional APET
thermoformed cups and containers, which can only
be used up to 60°C, by increasing its heat stability to
up to 100°C.
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
• Thermoformed, APET food packaging, including:
- Hot steam sterilization
- Hot fill
- Microwave use
• Polyester
• Sheet extrusion & thermoforming
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Suitable for hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and
microwave applications
• Ideal for food-grade containers with high rigidity
and improved gas barrier
• Can withstand temperatures up to 100°C
• Available in both transparent and opaque
options
• Processable on existing thermoforming lines
with heated molds
KEY BENEFITS
• A fully circular monomaterial, up to 100% rPET
polymer content
• Promotion of the circularity of PET and the
resulting packaging is possible
• Helps customers to comply with the Packaging
and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) that
demands recyclability of all packaging with
binding PCR content targets by 2030
• Demonstrates improved productivity in
comparison to CPET during thermoforming
• Helps avoid possible EPR fees or penalties on
difficult-to-recycle packaging
