Moving away from virgin resin to using the same grade of PCR, you can expect both processing conditions and product performance to change. Organoleptic performance is an important concern because most PCR grades are not degassed and can contribute offensive odors to the parts Choose a quality grade of PCR with fewer odor profiles

New Maxxam™ REC, Maxxam™ BIO, and Nymax ™ BIO grades: An expanded portfolio of recycled and bio-based polyolefin and polyamide formulations now manufactured in Europe. These grades can offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional grades while achieving equivalent performance in many applications and industries, including transportation, industrial, consumer, electrical and electronic, and building and construction. 

Avient accepted the challenge, offering its Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Color Prediction Service that was able to help L’Oréal achieve global color consistency and speed up launch time for its Redken line of hair care products, which can support those in the plastic packaging industry facing the same issue when using mechanical recycling resin grades.  Avient’s Color Prediction Service allowed us to use local PCR grades wherever the business is – if the color is for Europe, we use the European grade,” said Chantal Nestor-Saury, product development manager at L’Oréal.

PCR grades are formulated from multiple types of recycled content, ranging from ocean plastics to food packaging. Transportation grades are formulated for automotive interiors and are tested to VDA 278 and VDA 270 standards. PCR and post-industrial recycled (PIR) recycled content grades are available.  

CLEVELAND – December 9, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialty and sustainable materials solutions and services, announces the addition of flame-retardant (FR) grades manufactured without intentionally added PFAS-based raw materials to its portfolio of Complēt™ PKE Long Fiber Reinforced Polyketone Thermoplastics. These 30% or 40% long glass fiber (LGF) reinforced thermoplastics have a flammability rating of V-0 at 1.5 mm in both black and natural grades. These glass-filled Complēt PKE FR grades are formulated without PFAS-based raw materials, providing alternatives amid growing regulatory guidelines for these chemicals.
