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.
