modified solutions with added sustainability
benefits.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Customized density offering a wide range of
specific gravities (1.2–11 gm/cm3)
• Based on recycled resin from PIR and PCR
sources
• Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very
rigid grades
• Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization
for long-term use and benefit
• Chemical resistance can be adapted depending
on base resin as required
• Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics, and
cool touch
• Design flexibility and processing ease
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 recycled resin from
post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or
post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources including
ocean bound plastic waste
• Reduces waste and supports the circular
economy
• Reduces carbon footprint compared to fossil
feedstock alternatives
• Simplifies manufacturing and lowers costs
versus metal

Since the formulation also has improved heat
stability, it will not accelerate yellowing during the
recycling process, and will also help reduce energy
consumption and improve bottle mechanical
strength by incorporating all the added benefits
from the SmartHeat RHC technology.
Brand owners and packaging manufacturers who
need to use increased levels of rPET content, in
support of their sustainability goals and the circular
economy, should benefit from this solution.
