Ampacet’s Carbon Black-free Masterbatch Receives Plastics Recycling Award

Reducing the Carbon Footprint with NIR Technology

«We are honored to receive the Plastics Recycling Award, says Philippe Hugele, Ampacet Strategic Business Manager, Europe.

«These carbon black-free solutions are part of our sustainable development program and can help to significantly reduce the carbon footprint by giving black plastic packaging a second life.» 

While most black packaging cannot be sorted by recycling companies and can only be disposed of in a landfill or used for energy recovery, packaging using Ampacet’s REC-NIR-BLACK carbon black-free masterbatch is near-infrared (NIR) transparent to allow scanning by NIR technology for automated sorting at recovery facilities.
