The new masterbatch can be used in all PET bottles, including those for water, beverage and personal care packaging. 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 6,900 associates, is certified ACC Responsible Care® and Great Place to Work®, and is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.

For example, this directive has set a target for plastic bottles. They should contain at least 25% recycled plastic in their manufacture by 2025 (for PET bottles), and 30% by 2030 (for all bottles). These commitments and mandates will continue to drive the high and increasing demand for recycled plastic bottles.

Rejoin™ Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Colorants use PCR content as a carrier resin, allowing for 100% PCR packaging with color for bottles and parts. PCR grades are formulated from multiple types of recycled content, ranging from ocean plastics to food packaging. The ColorWorks™ team will highlight ColorForward™, the annual color forecasting guide for the plastics industry.

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.
