ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ SolO2: a recyclable solution
Recyclability has become a fundamental
requirement for convertors and brand owners.
Providing
solutions that are considered recyclable within the
colored bottle stream will thus be an integral part
of the recyclability strategy for both convertors and
brand owners.
Avient undertook a recyclability study to show
how bottles containing 0.09% Fortis Amber-1 and
4% Amosorb SolO2-2 achieve optimal results when
going through two full loops of recycling.

OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants
Near-Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging
OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants for recyclable black
and dark 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.
It is well known that detection and sorting of black
or dark packaging in material recovery facilities is a
complex issue affecting the packaging and recycling
industries extensively.

RECYCLABILITY & rPET
Brand owners wishing to operate with a Circular
Economy need to use higher levels of rPET in their
packaging.
In order to satisfy the demand for a
circular economy, governments are legislating
increased use of recycled material in single use
packaging.
The EU’s directive for use of recycled
PET (rPET) in bottles will increase from 25% in
2025.
