Homepage // News Center // PolyOne Launches New Black Masterbatch Colorants with Sustainable Carbon Black Derived from end-of-life tires, this new color concentrate is a sustainable alternative to those based on virgin carbon black.   It creates a smaller carbon footprint than virgin carbon black because it uses 90 percent less water and 61 percent less electricity while emitting 90 percent less carbon dioxide in its manufacturing process.*   “We continue to look for ways to help our customers meet their sustainability goals by developing products that are environmentally responsible,” says Kevin Jones, general manager, PolyOne Color & Additives, North America.

OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants Near Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging OnColor™ NIR Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for recyclable packaging promotes correct sorting and recycling of dark polymers. This solution permits black and dark color polymers to be detected by near infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment, enabling subsequent recycling. Some formuations used to color black and dark colored packaging absorb the wavelengths so darker polymers can’t be identified, inevitably keeping some packaging out of recycling streams at considerable cost to our environment.
