Energy Efficient PET takes less energy to manufacture than alternative materials like glass. Also, the more rPET used in manufacturing, the higher the acetaldehyde levels, which can lead to odor and taste issues. They should contain at least 25% recycled plastic in their manufacture by 2025 (for PET bottles), and 30% by 2030 (for all bottles).

These sweeping trends have applied intense pressure on manufacturers to produce greater quantities of products in shorter periods of time. Manufacturing steps for vulcanized rubber— pre-mixing the formulation, subsequent mixing on a two-roll mill, parts molding and secondary operations, including washing off unreacted surplus materials—present manufacturers with a costly, protracted and outdated process. Notable advantages include streamlined manufacturing, resealing performance and coring resistance.

This manufacturer is using Avient’s Smartbatch™ Concentrates, an integrated colorant and anti-UV solution. In addition, the company’s expertise and Smartbatch anti-UV concentrate extends the manufacturer’s pontoon part’s ability to withstand outdoor exposure. Finally, the manufacturer reported it was able to win market share and increase profitability as a result of the Smartbatch concentrate
