Scenarios for 2030 predict that of the 1300kt of
PET material coming from PET bottles collected
from the market yearly, between 20 to 30% will be
colored bottles;2 these will enter their respective
sorting and collection systems to ultimately
produce rPET material that will be fed as new raw
material for non-food PET applications.
Providing
solutions that are considered recyclable within the
colored bottle stream will thus be an integral part
of the recyclability strategy for both convertors and
brand owners.
It was also demonstrated that usage of a reduced
amount of color, namely 0,045% of Fortis Amber-1,
allows the production of bottles (Bottle C) that closely
resembles the original bottles (Bottle A).

Colorants added in the mixing
phase of the manufacturing process can generate transparent, translucent or
opaque colors.
Liquid colorants will produce transparent,
translucent and tinted color.
Solid colorants are better for generating
highly opaque colors—including metallic, pearlescent and glow-in-the-
dark colors—or patterns and effects, like marbling, wood or camouflage.
