As demand for sustainable packaging grows, the focus continues to shift towards improving the circularity of PET, specifically using recycled PET (rPET).
To address this, advancements in recycling technologies and the use of performance additives are crucial.
To combat this, color-stable toners and additives can be used to maintain the clarity and color consistency of rPET.
