The PET packaging market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing sustainability demands, higher recycling targets, and the shift away from alternative materials such as polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP). In this context PET’s enhanced recyclability and the capability to reintroduce post-consumer recycled (PCR) content into new food packaging make it an attractive choice for brands and converters worldwide.

Good clarity and recyclability Ultimate UV dosing is highly consistent offering excellent part clarity with a superior aesthetic. It has no negative effect on recyclability, physical performance characteristics or color of the recycled material. In some situations the Ultimate UV range can vastly improve both the processing and mechanical properties of packaging incorporating recycled material.

In the circular scenario, which repeats again and again, resources are used to create products, those products are reclaimed and/or recycled via collection infrastructures, and the resulting recyclate is then formed into more products. If not recycled properly, plastics can ends up in a landfill or, even worse, the ocean. For instance, recycling technology and infrastructure must be further advanced in order to sustain a circular economy.

And, they can fit a sustainable model as they have a high potential to be successfully recycled. This can include increasing the percentage of post-consumer recycled content (PCR), reducing the carbon footprint during production or shipping, or improving package recyclability. These may include: • Achieve a percentage of all packaging that is reusable, recyclable or compostable • Increase the use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, up to 100% • Use lightweighting or other solutions that will help reduce your carbon footprint • Replace petroleum-based materials with renewable materials such as bio-plastics Whatever your goals, we can help you achieve them with customized solutions based on a number of factors.
