55 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 20 No. 10/19 www.petpla.net Work together on a “clean” future Plastics have become an indispen- sable part of our everyday lives, since their low specific weight and special versatility allow us to improve our qual- ity of life. However, what happens to the synthetic materials after they have been used? At present, almost the entire population is concerned with this ques- tion, and solutions are urgently sought. We must learn to use these materials in such a way that they do not harm the environment, especially after use. For some thermoplastics, such as PET and HDPE, recycling methods are already available which enable the recovery of the plastics. The CHT Group states to take responsibility worldwide and to be sup- porting the mechanical recycling process for years using sustainable innovations. An efficient use of the limited resources is the positive consequence. Further possibilities for optimising recycling processes can be found. In this way, CHT intends to enable its customers to explore new paths and set trends, even apart from bottle recycling. With the optimal coordination of processes and chemical auxiliaries, the best pos- sible further processing of the recycled materials can be guaranteed. The CHT cleaning agents of the efficient Tubiwash series remove impu- rities and organic residual substances, adhesives and printing inks. Solutions and application fields of Tubiwash are versatile, and it can be applied in a wide range of most different applications and convince by improving the quality. A fur- ther approach taken by the CHT Group is to ensure that different materials are processed separately within the recycling processes. With its Tubiwet range, CHT provides solutions for numerous types of plastics and applications. During product development, the CHT Recycling Solu- tions already pays attention to sustain- ability in the recycling process. First of all, process auxiliaries minimise the use of resources such as energy and water, and they can be removed from the wastewater so that there is no negative impact on the environment. The CHT Group intends to continue to play an active and sustainable part in the further development of plastics recycling in the future; as a globally active partner with good services, clever solutions and profound know-how. www.cht.com Hall 8a CHT Booth D50 Delivering white opaque PET with 50% less TiO 2 Penn Color’s pennaHolt brings the benefits of high opacity – low TiO 2 to mono- and multi-layer PET packages. Bottles with pennaHolt are more material- efficient, faster and more energy-efficient to manufacture and are recyclable at higher rates in the non-clear rPET stream. Penn Color’s penneffex has special effect pigments to deliver unique colour effects that make engineered PET packages stand out. The penneffex team has overcome critical challenges usually associated with special effects pigments. The results are special effects concepts for mono- and multi-layer PET and HDPE extrusion blow moulded bot- tles. Just some of the special effects that can be achieved include bicolour, thermo chromatic, phosphorescent effects and metallic-themed options. www.penncolor.com Hall 7 Level 2 Penn Color Booth B13
