Plastipak launches its PET material center in Verbania, Italy. The center produces a resin with a 30% recycled content, designed to simplify the processing flow and support the goal of circular economy packaging.
Significance for the polymer additive industry
The processing stability of recycled resin usually requires the coordination of additive systems.
. After the introduction of PET recycled materials, the thermal history and impurities during the processing may affect the material properties. Polymer additives such as antioxidants and light stabilizers help maintain processing stability and final product performance. Ultraviolet absorbers can be used to protect packaging contents or materials themselves from the effects of ultraviolet light. The form of functional masterbatch facilitates the addition of various additives in the resin processing stage. Compatibility and dispersion aids such as maleic anhydride grafted wax may also play a role in improving interfacial compatibility in recycled material systems. The establishment of Plastipak’s material center reflects the packaging industry’s concern for the convenience of processing recycled resin content, providing a new scenario for the matching needs of polymer additive products in circular economy packaging applications.
