How recyclable is your package, additive, coating, label, new resin or barrier resin?

PTI offer comprehensive evaluations, all-in-one location following the The Association of Postconsumer Plastics Recyclers Applications Guidelines for Innovations protocols. The Critical Guidance Document provides a test protocol which can help the innovator understand what impact the new innovation might have on the recycling stream.

Further testing protocols such as Bottle-to Bottle, Bottle-to-Sheet, Bottle-to-Strapping and Bottle-to-Fiber will yield critical information on how your new innovation might affect the performance attributes of recycle-content products made into these applications.

• Bottle griding
• Flake washing
• Air elutriation
• Strand extrusion with water bath and pelletizer
• Solid state polymerization reactor
• Plaque and preform injection molding
