RECYCLABILITY & rPET
Brand owners wishing to operate with a Circular
Economy need to use higher levels of rPET in their
packaging.
In order to satisfy the demand for a
circular economy, governments are legislating
increased use of recycled material in single use
packaging.
The EU’s directive for use of recycled
PET (rPET) in bottles will increase from 25% in
2025.

Utilizing the Social Plastic from Plastic
Bank, two new Maxxam™ REC Recycled Polyolefin
formulations were developed, one in each RAL
color requested.
The new grades were formulated to provide a
functional replacement for the previous used prime
materials while incorporating 50% recycled ocean-
bound plastic content.
The new recycled polyolefins have enabled
the replacement of fossil fuel-based feedstock with
more carbon-friendly recycled ocean-bound plastics.
