WHY AVIENT?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-06/Avient PCR Color Prediction Tool Solution Bulletin.pdf
In order to meet demand and avoid delays,
multiple PCR sourcing outlets are often necessary
and multi-pass recycling is utilized, both of which
can increase the risk of polymer degradation
impacting mechanical properties and creating
potential product safety issues due to food contact
concerns.
Based on color science, the tool helps optimize
the ratio of virgin resin to PCR in order to achieve
the best acceptable rendering, proven by scientific
data.
