Albéa
EZ’R is a new 100% recyclable and
lightweight foam pump from Albéa. The
polypropylene (PP) pump reduces overall
package weight and the amount of water
needed for usage. It is 53% lighter than
the company’s F2 foam pump and reduces
plastic consumption by 1.2 tons per
50,000 units produced. In terms of carbon
footprint, the EZ’R reduces the footprint
48% compared to the F2 pump, which is
equivalent to a 3.6-ton reduction in carbon
dioxide emissions, Albéa said. EZ’R is fully
recyclable in PP bottle collection channels.
Clariant Masterbatches
Clariant Masterbatches has launched black
plastic packaging containing the CESA-IR
additive, which is “visible” to infrared (NIR)
sensors in automated polymer sorting systems,
which will boost the recycling of dark plastics.
The CESA-IR formulations were developed to
enable NIR to detect black HDPE and LDPE in
injection and extrusion blow-molded products;
black polypropylene (PP) in films and injectionmolded
products and black polyethylene (PET)
and C-PET in sheets and film.
