Rejoin™ PCR Colorants – allows 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging by using PCR as a carrier resin. PCR Color Prediction Service – winner of the 2023 Re|focus Sustainable Innovation in Design Award and a finalist for the 2023 Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE) Product Technology Innovation of the Year Award, this digital service supports PCR resin coloration by illustrating the color possibilities or limitations of certain PCR material before sample development to help simplify the overall decision-making process for brand owners and technical colorists.  

Featured at CAMX is a new formulation of Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites made from greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET) resin. Performance is on par with standard PET formulations using virgin resin. 

CLEVELAND – PolyOne today announced that its ColorMatrix business has licensed the right to manufacture, market and sell a high-performance light blocking technology for liquid dairy packaging from leading PET resin and concentrate manufacturer Novapet. With three PET production plants, the Company manufactures over 260,000 tons of PET resin annually and more than one billion preforms for food and beverage containers.

At the event, Avient will feature its latest polymer additive innovations for post-consumer recycled (PCR) resins, such as recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) and polyolefins. PCR Color Prediction Service: a digital tool that can illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of recycled resins (PCR) prior to laboratory trials, which can help simplify the overall color decision-making process during product development and launch

Secondly, the use of the polyketone base resin offers a reduced product carbon footprint (PCF) compared to competitive nylon (PA) base resins (PA), helping to improve sustainability throughout the product life cycle.

Glasforms pultrusions featuring improved adhesion resin formulations provide enhanced adhesive properties that enable exceptional bonding performance for end products Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes

Reinforcing a thermoplastic with long glass fiber is a cost-effective way to boost mechanical properties of unreinforced resin systems and, even, short fiber solutions. Our long glass fiber reinforced products range from 20-70% fiber content (by weight) across a variety of resin systems ranging from polypropylene to higher performance engineering polymers such as PEEK.

Chemical Recycling: Sometimes referred to as advanced or molecular recycling in the plastics world, chemical recycling of composites involves breaking down the composite’s matrix resin into molecular components by pyrolysis or solvolysis, allowing for the recovery of its fiber reinforcement. To make composites more circular, explore a variety of fibers and a range of resins.
