How Additives and Colorants can enhance plastic recycling

As the content of PCR in packaging articles is continuously increased, it becomes more and more important to understand how to best protect the polymers during the recycling process to have as less as possible accumulation of degraded and colored material, leading to a higher PCR quality and hence bring the industry one step closer to a truly circular economy.
The Presentation will focus on today’s major gaps in mechanical recycling and will highlight additive and color solutions that can close the gaps and enhance the mechanical recycling process.
