70% of plastic packaging effectively recycled or composted 30% average recycled content across all plastic packaging For more information, see End Plastic Waste.

Millions of improperly discarded plastic bottles are finding their way into our waterways and oceans, rather than into proper recycle streams. PolyOne has developed additives that reduce the amount of plastic needed to make the bottle, as well as SMARTHEAT™ INFRARED ABSORBERS—additives that reduce the amount of energy required during bottle manufacture. Bottles for carbonated drinks require more strength when compared to bottles for still beverages.

Homepage // News Center // PolyOne Develops High-Performing Plasticizer Alternative for Flexible PVC CLEVELAND – PolyOne announced today the commercial availability of SynPlast™ L9TM plasticizer, containing equivalent performance characteristics to 810TM linear plasticizer. When 810 alcohol became scarce in 2013, a global supply shortage of 810TM plasticizer spurred a need for alternatives.

It enables: • Increased rPET content • Reduced CO2 emissions When added to PET preforms and bottles, ColorMatrix AAzure helps to: • Improve bottle quality - Reduced preform acetaldehyde by up to 80% - Improved mechanical strength - Lightweighting • Improve processability - Reduced bottle blowouts - Reduced scrap - Improved productivity • Reduce energy consumption during bottle blowing process ColorMatrix AAzure has a slight blue tint, which is useful for off-setting yellowing often associated with the use of rPET, and has minimal impact on final product color or aesthetics.
