Beyond these, one clear impact of the pandemic has been on the packaging industry, where vastly increased e-commerce and the focus on hygiene has shown, for example, PET bottles and containers to be an ideal solution to shifting consumer and regulatory trends.
This comes as the German Bundestag has passed an amendment to the country’s 2019 Packaging Act, aimed at both avoiding, and recycling, packaging waste to reduce its impact on the environment, a move that will make PET packaging even more sustainable.
This high-tech facility is helping us to understand the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process to see how and where problems occur.

However, this can impact colorability, which is a critical consideration when the look of the product needs to meet expectations amid the growing demand for sustainable products.
Using recycled content in the formulations can impact colorability and/or surface aesthetics, ultimately influencing material choices made during the design phase.
This reduces some of the challenges, but the fluctuations may still impact color consistency and aesthetics
