However, thermoplastic composites are gaining traction because of their recyclability, ease of manufacturing and design flexibility.
On the other hand, thermoplastic composites have enhanced toughness, and the potential for recyclability.

D’une part, l’entreprise Avient Corporation s’est engagée à :
- utiliser le protocole de tri fournis par le COTREP (« Procédure de tests de tri optique
COTREP pour évaluer la détectabilité d’emballages sombres lors des étapes de tri
optique » - version Janvier 20191) ;
- réaliser les tests chez les deux Fabricants T.O. représentatifs des capacités de tri
existantes en France ;
- remettre au COTREP les rapports des essais pour analyse et avis ;
- proposer une solution colorante :
o qui réponde aux exigences essentielles de la directive emballage 94/62/CE
o qui ne fait pas basculer la densité de l’emballage : les emballages
majoritairement en PP ou PE doivent conserver une densité < 1 et les emballages
majoritairement en PET ou en PS une densité > 1.

Product packaging is recyclable with
recovery rates of up to 99%.
Liquid colorants are helping
to minimize the environmental impact of coloring in a
number of ways:
• Liquid carrier systems are typically made largely from
natural oil-based renewable sources
• Liquid systems can be dosed with the highest degree
of accuracy and control, minimizing wastage through
overdosing
• ColorMatrix’s latest PLANETPAK™ delivery packs have a
fully recyclable outer and are engineered to enable 99%
product recovery allowing further efficiencies
to be made
• The concentrated nature of liquid colorant systems
mean that inventory requirements are inherently very
low.
