PET packaging can be easily recycled, yet plastic packaging waste in landfills and oceans is increasing worldwide. In response, countries are putting forth legislation that specifies minimum recycled content for packaging. As a result, the demand for high quality rPET packaging has never been greater. 

Food and beverage brand owners are aware of current French tariffs and potential future tariffs that may limit TiO2 content in packaging. To help packaging customers further their recyclability and lightweighting goals, Avient developed this technology for mono-layer PET, one of the most widely recycled packaging materials. In PET packaging, specialized light blocking additives are regularly used to stop visible-light induced contents from degrading under commercially relevant storage conditions, helping to prolong the shelf life of dairy packaged products such as ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk.

PET is a popular choice for food and beverage packaging, affording high clarity with design flexibility, and can be easily recycled multiple times, unlike alternative packaging materials. Additives are often included in PET packaging to help protect contents and extend shelf life, but they can decrease packaging clarity. To support the move toward a circular economy, governments are legislating increased levels of recycled material in single-use packaging.
