content in packaging without compromising light-blocking performance, while also extending the shelf life of dairy products to help prevent food spoilage,” said Antonello Decortes, Global Product Platform Manager, Gas and Light Barriers, Avient Corporation. “These levels are lower than 4%, even if used at the highest recommended Let Down Ratio (6%). This is because some countries are setting new TiO2 regulations, such as France, where the maximum TiO2 level allowed in opaque white bottles is set at 4%. For the moment, we do not yet foresee this 4% restriction being applied to other countries. However, we understand some countries may implement a dedicated recycling stream for white opaque bottles.” Decortes added that lower levels of TiO2 reduce equipment wear and tear, which should help prolong machinery lifetimes. Last year, three of Avient’s UV barrier additives for
PET bottles were granted RecyClass Recyclability Approval, establishing that the additives do not cause yellowing after recycling, which is important for maintaining high quality in unpigmented PET. The formulations are Cesa Light Additives FEA0050148, Cesa Light Additives FEA0050249, and ColorMatrix Ultimate UV 390-1 Light Barrier for PET. According to RecyClass, “Independent testing was carried out by the Institut für Kunststofftech- nologie und -recycling [IKTR], following an adapted version of the RecyClass Recyclability Evaluation Protocol for PET bottles. The results showed no adverse effects on the recycling process, confirming compatibility with state-of-the-art recycling process- es in Europe.” RecyClass said that the approval of the three Avient additives is valid as long as the amount of additive used does not exceed 0.15 wt %
of the total weight of the packaging. Repi’s UV absorber formulations REMAP 00395 and REMAP 00561 also received a RecyClass Recyclability Approval in late 2024, indicating compatibility for PET recycling in Europe.
