For example, an EU directive for use of recycled PET (rPET) in beverage bottles will increase from 25 percent in 2025 to 30 percent in 2030. As a result, brand owners want to ensure the oxygen scavengers used in their PET bottles maintain efficacy with increasing levels of rPET. Avient’s solution provides our customers with the robust barrier properties required for PET rigid containers, but with negligible effects on efficacy for rPET.

It is designed for convertors to add to preforms to allow for higher levels of rPET, reducing risk from off-taste and improving the sustainability of PET bottles. This issue can increase when higher levels of rPET are used. This improves processability at high levels of rPET, reducing blowouts, improving productivity, allowing for higher levels of rPET use, and also lightweighting.

The EU’s directive for use of recycled PET (rPET) in bottles will increase from 25% in 2025 to 30% in 2030. Brand owners need to ensure the oxygen scavengers used in their PET bottles maintain their oxygen scavenging efficacy with the introduction of increasing levels of rPET. ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020G also lowers impact on the PET recycle stream due to a reduction in rPET yellowing.

Increasing the Use and Viability of rPET THE USE OF PET FOR SINGLE-USE BOTTLES IS UNIVERSAL. To support the principles of a circular economy, however, there is a clear need to increase the use of recycled PET (rPET) and reduce our carbon footprint; but achieving this is not without its challenges. IV variability ColorMatrix™ rePrize™ IV Builder for PET Chain extender to repair PET chains, increasing the melt and intrinsic viscosity of rPET Reacts via melt extrusion and increases viscosity in the melt phase.

ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020G not only helps reduce haze, but also reduces the impact on recycled PET (rPET), as it reduces yellowing by 50 percent during the mechanical recycling process. As a result, brand owners need to ensure the oxygen scavengers used in their PET bottles maintain efficacy as increasing levels of rPET are introduced. PolyOne testing shows that ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020G is one of the most robust oxygen scavengers for PET rigid containers, with negligible effects on efficacy for the rPET grades tested, while other competitive materials lost almost all oxygen scavenging ability with rPET content as low as 20 percent.
