Three R3 Sustainable Solutions masterbatch products from Ampacet are finalists in the prestigious Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2020 in the Product Technology Innovation of the Year category. The award winners will be announced on March 26 during the Plastics Recycling Show Europe in Amsterdam.

Ampacet products are:

  • ReViveTM Compatibilizer 962E, a blend of functional additives that can reduce the amount of material sent to landfills by allowing post-industrial and post-consumer barrier films to be reprocessed back into the polyolefin recycling stream
  • Odor Scavenger, a powerful wide spectrum odour-absorbing masterbatch designed for use with recycled polyethylene to neutralize odours of post-consumer recycled material and keep them enclosed inside the polymer
  • Blue Edge 226 masterbatch, featuring technology that improves the aesthetics of clear flexible rPE packaging

All of Ampacet’s shortlisted products are part of the R3 Sustainable Solutions portfolio of innovative masterbatches supporting the global circular economy.

“We are honored to have three of our R3 Sustainable Solutions products considered for this award and we’re excited to see the global commitment to sustainability from all of these fine organisations,” said Francois Thibeau, Ampacet Strategic Business Manager, Film.

Open to organisations and individuals across Europe who are involved in the recycling of plastic materials, the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe are organised jointly by Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE) and Crain Communications, organisers of the Plastics Recycling Show Europe. www.prseventeurope.com
