How to minimize the risk of supply chain disruption for healthcare plastic colorants and functional additives Avient’s Mevopur™ portfolio and risk mitigation concept can help healthcare manufacturers on the journey to increased security of supply for plastics used in their products. The concentrates need to be diluted with virgin polymer during the conversion process to achieve the right amount of color or additive in the plastic.

Recycled plastics can be used to create new products across several industries, but one brand owner in particular was looking to incorporate recycled plastics in their consumer applications. The PCR grade is formulated with ocean bound plastics from Oceanworks®, an accelerator program participant within the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. Plastics Industry Association

This article will explain bio-based and recycled raw materials often used in plastics while exploring key factors such as color, performance, regulations, price, and supply. Similar to traditional materials, confirming which standards must be met and ensuring the sustainable plastic formulation is compliant is important. For example, regulations in food-contact applications include EU 10/2011 (Plastics Implementation Measures, Europe), National Standards (GB, China), and regulations established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA, USA).
