Be Sustainable
Eco-conscious consumers value recycled content,
renewable resources and resource efficiency.
We’ll
work with you on solutions that help protect the
Earth’s resources, such as:
• Increase use of post-consumer recycled (PCR)
content with highly loaded colorants
• Use foaming agents to reduce material usage
• Extend product life with additives that protect
against harsh environments
• Conserve resources with solutions that enable
more efficient production; reduce part weight,
energy or material consumption; enable
faster cycle times; or provide better insulating
properties
Ready to optimize your process using
Smartbatch concentrates?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-08/bottle-optimization-brochure-8.5x11.pdf
Sustainability
We have additives that enable greater
use of recycled content and minimize
negative impacts on recycle streams.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2025-03/ColorMatrix Smartheat RHC Technical Bulletin.pdf
Suitable for PET
and rPET preforms and bottles, it can be added to
preforms providing the following benefits:
• Improved blowing performance
• Potential for increased rPET content
• Increased mechanical strength
• Potential for lightweighting
• Improved performance through the
recycle process
• Reduced energy consumption
• No pre-drying requirements
SmartHeat RHC can contribute towards improved
productivity, reduced manufacturing costs,
improved sustainability, and can broaden the scope
for bottle design.
RECYCLING
SmartHeat RHC is APR accredited and
EPBP approved.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-08/Avient-2023-Sustainability-Report_6.pdf
These solutions help enable customers to
achieve their sustainability goals by increasing the use of post customer recycled (PCR) and post industrial recycled (PIR) content,
enabling recyclability, increasing adoption of biopolymers and minimizing plastic waste.
The plan includes a range of options,
including repurposing scrap composite
rods as fence posts, recycling of scrap
glass, and recycling of composite finished
goods.
They find
their way to landfills instead of being recycled.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-08/colormatrix-aazure-brochure-1.pdf
For applications requiring higher levels of toning,
ColorMatrix AAzure can be combined with our
range of recycle-frendly toners.
Standard acetaldehyde scavenging products can often contribute towards yellowing during
recycling.
ColorMatrix AAzure has shown to have a much improved impact on the recycling
process, with reduced yellowing through multiple heat histories.
