SmartHeat RHC Tone
Recycle-friendly color or toner
containing SmartHeat RHC,
which helps to reduce carbon
emissions and improve the
quality and performance of
rPET, allowing for higher levels
of rPET to be used.
Provides all benefits of
SmartHeat RHC while also producing
a toning or color effect with
no detrimental impact on the
recycle stream.
Reduces the requirements for
high levels of toner to correct
for yellowing.

2022 SUMMARY
PEER COMPARISONS
25
As a specialty formulator, we don’t
require significant capital
investment, as compared to the
base resin raw material suppliers
we purchase from.
We also monitor earnings (defined as net income from continuing operations) before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA before the impact of special items) as a
supplement to our GAAP measures.
