The study also demonstrated that using Borcycle M grades along with Avient’s OnColor™ near-infrared (NIR) detectable colorants can produce a recyclable, neutral black which enables better automatic sorting for recycling. This solution helps to prevent downcycling of darker and black PCRs based on their color and maintains their value in the recycling stream. 

Black or dark gray colors are typically easier to achieve with recycled materials due to the comingled items that may contaminate the recycling stream. However, black or dark gray colors can be difficult to be detected by near-infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment at recycling facilities.
