Bottles made of PET or rPET can be recycled into new bottles or packaging. The expanding beverage market in Asia Pacific and the ease of bottle-to-bottle recycling is expected to drive further growth for this use case. They should contain at least 25% recycled plastic in their manufacture by 2025 (for PET bottles), and 30% by 2030 (for all bottles).

As a result, stakeholders across the plastics value chain in Germany expect PET juice bottles that were previously not entering the bottle-to-bottle recycling stream, to now do so, significantly increasing the amount of rPET in bottle applications than are already present in the market.  Avient’s additives can improve processability during the bottle blowing phase and improve the mechanical strength of bottles. SmartHeat RHC, for example, is a process aid for use in PET bottles and is particularly beneficial when using rPET.

Bottle B was produced utilizing 50% flakes of the original bottles, which were crystallized and dried before being diluted with 50% virgin PET to inject new preforms and blow bottles. A visual inspection of the bottles shows that bottle B still has a very recognizable amber tone. 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).

Increasing the Use and Viability of rPET THE USE OF PET FOR SINGLE-USE BOTTLES IS UNIVERSAL. Enhances heat-up rate of the preform for energy reduction during bottle blowing. Provides further optimization during bottle blowing to improve bottle quality and strength, allowing for lightweighting, increased rPET content and improved productivity.
