Recycled PET often exhibits yellowing or color variations due to degradation during the recycling process.
These additives are developed to withstand multiple recycling loops, helping the recycled material remain visually appealing even after several uses.
These additives should not negatively impact the recyclability of PET and should help maintain the integrity of the recycled material.

The antioxidant can be added to PCR content early in the recycling process or incorporated in virgin resin to protect against degradation in multiple recycling loops.
Sustainability experts from Avient will be on hand to help address recycling challenges in packaging, drawing on research conducted at Avient’s CycleWorks™ Innovation Center that focuses on mechanical recycling challenges and solutions.
Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

Reusability and Recyclability
Keep in mind that whether you’re aiming at mechanical or chemical recycling, design for recyclability has its challenges.
The use of multiple materials, color, and certain additives can add to the recycling complexity or limit recyclability.

Additionally, new minimum recycled content thresholds will mean that from 2025 there will be a sales ban on PET bottles containing less than 25% recycled plastics, increasing to 30% in 2030.
The plastic packaging recycling target in Germany will rise to 63% from 2022 and the new law also introduces incentives for packaging producers to incorporate recyclability considerations into their packaging design, and to use recycled or renewable materials.
