Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

Recycle Solutions

Supports enhanced recyclability

Rejections because of painting imperfections are eliminated, and what little scrap is left can be easily recovered and recycled back into the manufacturing process, saving time and money.

ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ SolO2: a recyclable solution Recyclability has become a fundamental requirement for convertors and brand owners. 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. Avient undertook a recyclability study to show how bottles containing 0.09% Fortis Amber-1 and 4% Amosorb SolO2-2 achieve optimal results when going through two full loops of recycling.

Until as recently as 1996, the six primary TPE types could be categorized into two generic classes, block copolymers (styrenics, copolyesters, polyurethanes and polyamides) or thermoplastic/elastomer blends & alloys (thermoplastic polyolefins and thermoplastic vulcanizates). Scrap is fully recyclable

OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants Near-Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants for recyclable black and dark packaging promotes correct sorting and recycling of dark polymers. This solution permits black and dark color polymers to be detected by near-infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment, enabling subsequent recycling. It is well known that detection and sorting of black or dark packaging in material recovery facilities is a complex issue affecting the packaging and recycling industries extensively.
