We’re delighted to be introducing our first recycled-content long fiber composite material in a planned larger portfolio based on recycled resin,” said Eric Wollan, General Manager for Long Fiber Technologies at Avient. Historically, it has been a challenge to source streams of recycled resins that are compatible with the pultrusion process used to manufacture long fiber composites.  Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

To help combat these issues, Avient today announced the launch of ColorMatrix™ Optica™ PET blue toners and colorants, which enable enhanced recyclability of PET packaging. In addition, processing efficiencies are reduced as the material is recycled. Formulated for addition to virgin PET and recycled PET (rPET), heat-stable ColorMatrix Optica blue toners work to correct and reduce the yellowing or color variation that typically occurs during the recycling process.
