Home // Using Post-Consumer Recycled Content in Plastic Packaging Closures Bottles and closures have traditionally been made using virgin resin. This is true not just for bottles, but also for closures such as caps and lids.

Along with the tremendous benefits that plastics bring to society, there is also a responsibility to ensure plastic waste does not end up in the environment. Ultimate is recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers and the European PET Bottle Platform for having no negative impact on the recycling stream. RejoinTM PCR Masterbatch uses PCR as a carrier resin, effectively allowing a bottle or part to be manufactured with 100% PCR.

Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic PolyOne employs approximately 5,600 associates, is certified ACC Responsible Care® and Great Place to Work®, and is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. 

The increased use of rPET in PET bottles can lead to increased AA levels, but can also compromise bottle mechanical strength and create blowouts, both of which reduce productivity and increase scrap rates. Growing concerns over single-use plastics and their impact on the environment are prompting legislation changes globally. The EU Council recently adopted a directive which requires PET bottles to include 30 percent of rPET by 2030.

Plastics Pact 2023 Sustainable Packaging Innovation Award for Recyclability. ColorMatrix™ Smartheat™ RHC – a liquid dispersion process aid that improves polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling and bottle quality and meets APR Critical Guidance.   In addition, ColorForward™ 2024, the annual color forecasting guide for the plastics industry, will be on display.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used plastic, particularly in the food and beverage industry, because of its recyclability, lightweight properties, and durability. Process Optimization for Preform Molding and Bottle Blowing Optimizing the preform molding and bottle blowing processes is essential for reducing energy consumption and improving the quality of PET bottles, especially when incorporating rPET.

PET packaging can be easily recycled, yet plastic packaging waste in landfills and oceans is increasing worldwide. Capture is added to the bottle closure, effectively removing the barrier from the bottle. By moving the oxygen scavenger to the cap, there is greater flexibility and even lightweighting options for the bottle design.
