Reduced Energy Use The new 4020G grade offers up to 50 percent lower haze and reduced impact on the PET recycle stream compared to previous grades, while maintaining the same reliable active oxygen scavenging performance. This solution improves the viability of rPET by reducing haze and reducing yellowing by 50 percent during the mechanical recycling process.

Having more charging stations available will reduce drivers' concerns about traveling longer distances in an electric vehicle, ultimately resulting in increased EV sales. Incorporating flame retardant additives can help mitigate fire hazards by increasing the ignition resistance of plastics, reducing the speed of flame spread, reducing heat release, and reducing smoke and fume generation. It is important to consider eco-conscious material options that can help in lightweighting, reducing volatile organic compounds (VOC), and reducing energy use.
