THE IMPORTANCE OF PLASTICS FOR PACKAGING Compared to alternative materials, plastic is one of the most sustainable materials available for packaging applications. For these reasons plastics for packaging play an important role in everyday life, however, due to the high volume and rather short usage life of plastic packaging items, they require appropriate management, especially at the end of their life. Optimization of the plastic recycling process along the value chain is therefore of the highest importance and will foster a circular economy that helps to achieve the plastic industries’ sustainability targets.

It also includes mating plastic threads formed during assembly . This helps to reduce added compressive loads or pressures on the plastic . The heat will melt the plastic around FIGURE 9 - Proper boss design FIGURE 10 - Boss design guidelines ESCR Design Guide 4 it, allowing the plastic to relax, reflow, and solidify .

Options for black, white and color markings are available on opaque but also transparent plastics. Custom concentrates are developed in our color matching labs to match the target color in the recycled polymer batch used by the plastic converter. Sortable Black Colorants Black plastic can be challenging to detect by infrared sensors during the sorting process resulting in the plastic being directed to waste instead of the relevant recycled polymer stream.
