36 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 22 No. 09/21 www.petpla.net Avient - hall B5 booth 5316 Solutions for improving recyclability in the PET market As part of a sustainable circularity focus, Avient launched the following new solutions in 2021 aimed at improving recyclability in the PET market:  ColorMatrix Optica toners & colours for enhanced recyclability. When added to PET resin, preforms and recycled PET (rPET), it corrects and reduces the yellowing that occurs during the recycling process. Aside from aesthet- ics, there are also processing bene fi ts for PET resin during the manufacture and recycling processes, and further downstream for convertors, bottle blowers and brand owners during packaging production.  ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020R oxygen scavenging additive speci fi cally for- mulated for use with rPET. The solu- tion delivers full oxygen scavenging performance with up to 100% rPET content with a focus on improving the aesthetics of the recycled bottle in terms of haze and colour.  ColorMatrix Lactra low TiO 2 . The new Four, One and Zero formulations offer dairy contents protection with superior whiteness & low inorganic content. With TiO 2 content between 4% and 0%, ColorMatrix Lactra Four, One and Zero offers light blocking up to 99.9%, improved performance in thin wall sections, superior whiteness, and can be processed with standard PET grades and rPET.  Rejoin PCR masterbatch for polyole- fi ns enables post-consumer recycled (PCR) to be used as a carrier resin, effectively allowing a bottle or part to be manufactured with 100% PCR. It combines pigments and functional additives into one solution without creating a negative impact on colour or mechanical properties. Avient will also be showcasing its full portfolio of speciality engineered mate- rials, and colour & additive solutions for PET and rPET, including formula- tions developed to support the circular economy. www.avient.com www.prseventeurope.com Organised by Silver Event Sponsors Registration now OPEN at prseventeurope.com Registration is free of charge The PRSE exhibition, conference and awards are the annual focal point of the Plastics Recycling industry in Europe, bringing together respected global brands and professionals.
