Avient will be featuring many of its latest sustainability technologies that can improve the customer experience of working with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and support the use of PCR materials in packaging, including: Sustainability experts from Avient will be on hand to help address recycling challenges in packaging, drawing on research conducted at Avient’s CycleWorks™ Innovation Center that focuses on mechanical recycling challenges and solutions.  

PARIS – January 29, 2020 – Today at PCD Paris, the Packaging of Perfume, Cosmetics and Design show, PolyOne is launching OnColor™ Naturals, the latest addition to its sustainable solutions portfolio.       Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

The new formulations are Avient’s first PCR-containing TPE technology developed primarily for overmolding polycarbonate (PC), acrylic butadiene styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS blends in applications from consumer electronics, cosmetics packaging, and personal care items to power tools and toys. The new PCR-containing reSound REC formulations are initially available in three grades with up to 45 percent PCR content from recycled lubricant oil and food packaging, covering a hardness range from 40 to 60 Shore A.

This annual two-day conference gathers key leaders, innovators, and experts in the plastics recycling industry in Latin America (LATAM) to discuss plastics recycling trends, environmental regulations, innovative sustainable packaging options, and more. Our colorants and additives can increase the recyclability of plastic packaging without compromising performance.”
