We understand that many consider the use of colorants and additives that rely on virgin resin carriers to nullify the claim of 100 percent PCR, so we worked to develop a solution that could help our customers deliver fully on their sustainability commitments,” said Bob Lee, marketing director, Color & Additives Asia at Avient.
Rejoin PCR Masterbatch combines pigments and functional additives into a single solution without negatively affecting color or mechanical properties.

SUZHOU, China – ColorMatrix, a subsidiary of PolyOne Corporation and a global leader in liquid color and additives for plastics, today announced that its patented Joule™ RHB liquid infra-red absorption technology is now approved for use in PET beverage packaging in China.
Its inorganic, titanium nitride (TiN) base means the additive can naturally withstand higher temperatures.
Inherent blue toning properties help reduce the appearance of yellowing to maintain clarity, while the additive also retains its reheat capability even after long-term recycling.

In addition, the design included more traditional features, such as four small support feet on the underside of the mouse for low-friction, easy-glide operation.
Together, the manufacturer and Avient settled on a final formulation that could utilize existing tooling, thereby avoiding additional costs.
In addition, the profit margin on this product was about 30% higher than that of other models.
