The new masterbatch can be used in all PET bottles, including those for water, beverage and personal care packaging. Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic PolyOne employs approximately 6,900 associates, is certified ACC Responsible Care® and Great Place to Work®, and is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. 

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used plastic, particularly in the food and beverage industry, because of its recyclability, lightweight properties, and durability. Process Optimization for Preform Molding and Bottle Blowing Optimizing the preform molding and bottle blowing processes is essential for reducing energy consumption and improving the quality of PET bottles, especially when incorporating rPET.

PET packaging can be easily recycled, yet plastic packaging waste in landfills and oceans is increasing worldwide. Capture is added to the bottle closure, effectively removing the barrier from the bottle. By moving the oxygen scavenger to the cap, there is greater flexibility and even lightweighting options for the bottle design.

In recent years, white opaque PET bottles for dairy applications have been under increasing scrutiny for the potential effects their mineral fillers can have on the recycle stream used to create fiber. Testing also shows that in established opaque white PET recycle streams, Lactra products are suitable for closed loop bottle-to-bottle recycling.  Avient employs approximately 9,100 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
