Polymer Additive Solutions for PCR (rPET and Polyolefins): can enhance recyclability and properties of recycled materials to reduce environmental impact and help manufacturers create innovative products that pave the way to a more sustainable future through thoughtful design and material selection for PCR Hiformer™ Liquid Additives for Polyolefins – Antioxidants: specialized for post-industrial & post-consumer recycling that can help enhance the ability to maximize recycled materials in the film with less impact on the process and prevent typical defects such as black spots and yellowing

Avient’s tapes can be customized to meet specific properties and application requirements such as tensile and flexural strength, impact performance, creep resistance, and chemical and UV resistance. Thermoplastic recycled-content composites can further support a circular economy and help customers lessen their environmental impact.

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 guide will explore the industry impact of NIAS and how to ensure safety and sustainability in plastic food and beverage packaging.   The potential impact of NIAS to consumer health is a concern and forms the basis for regulatory standards.  

It combines pigments and functional additives into one solution without negatively impacting color or mechanical properties.   ColorMatrix™ Smartheat™ RHC liquid dispersion process aids can improve the recycling and sustainability of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, reduce CO2 emissions, and have minimal impact on final product color or aesthetics.

Comparative testing between PA66-GF/FR without and with OnColor orange showed no impact on flame retardancy and limited adverse effects on essential mechanical characteristics, such as flexural and impact strength.
