Capture is recognized by the Association of Plastics Recyclers (APR) to meet Critical Guidance based upon its recyclability with PET bottles. During the sorting process, the closure is separated from the PET bottle and recycled with the polyolefin stream. 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.

OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants Near Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging OnColor™ NIR Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for recyclable packaging promotes correct sorting and recycling of dark polymers. This solution permits black and dark color polymers to be detected by near infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment, enabling subsequent recycling. APPLICATIONS OnColor NIR Sortable Colorants can benefit the following stakeholders operating within the packaging industry: • Retailers • Brand Owners • Convertors • Recycling Facilities • Packaging Recovery Organizations GLOBAL APPROVALS • COTREP approved portfolio available • APR Meets Preferred Guidance for PE and PP resins Also sold as Cesa™ IR Black Additives For any additional information on our color and additive masterbatch portfolio for packaging and consumer applications, please contact your local Avient representative.

The PET packaging market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing sustainability demands, higher recycling targets, and the shift away from alternative materials such as polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP). In this context PET’s enhanced recyclability and the capability to reintroduce post-consumer recycled (PCR) content into new food packaging make it an attractive choice for brands and converters worldwide. 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 PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2025, Avient Corporation.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Customized density offering a wide range of specific gravities (1.5–11 gm/cm3) • Formulated with partially bio-based resin from renewable plant sources • Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very rigid grades • Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization for long-term use and benefit • Chemical resistance that can be adapted depending on base resin as required • Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics and cool touch • Design flexibility and processing ease • Food contact compliance available MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Applications in packaging and consumer goods in which a more sustainable solution is preferred: • Cosmetic caps and closures • Perfume caps • Spirit bottle caps • Luxury boxes • Handles and knobs SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS • Formulated with partially bio-based resin from renewable plant sources • Reduces waste and supports the circular economy • Reduces carbon footprint compared to fossil feedstock alternatives • Simplifies manufacturing and lowers cost versus metal PRODUCT BULLETIN CHARACTERISTICS UNITS Gravi-Tech BIO GT5200-5077 FD Natural Gravi-Tech BIO RS5200-5001 RS FD Natural Gravi-Tech BIO RS5200-5001 RS FD Natural X1 Gravi-Tech BIO GT5200-5003 Gravi-Tech BIO GT5200-5004 Gravi-Tech BIO GT5200-5002 Base Resin Bio-based PP Bio-based PP Bio-based PP Bio-based PP Bio-based PP Bio-based PP Recycled Content/Filler g/cm Mineral Mineral Mineral Metallic Metallic Metallic Density (ISO 1183) g/ccm 1.90 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.5 3.0 AVAILABLE GRADES Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.

POLYOLEFINS ALIGNING WITH SUSTAINABILITY GOALS POLYOLEFINS ARE EVERYWHERE Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are among the most popular plastics in the world. And, they can fit a sustainable model as they have a high potential to be successfully recycled. This can include increasing the percentage of post-consumer recycled content (PCR), reducing the carbon footprint during production or shipping, or improving package recyclability.
