Material Change & Regulatory Requirements: Velvet PET for Sensory Single-Material Designs
With Velvet PET, Lifocolor presents an innovative masterbatch that gives PET bottles the velvety-soft feel of HDPE extrusion blow-moulded bottles. This solution enables brand manufacturers in the cosmetics, food and pharmaceutical sectors to combine emotional brand experiences with the environmental benefits of PET. Particularly in light of the PPWR, Velvet PET enhances recyclable monomaterial design. The additive masterbatch can be processed on existing ISBM lines and is approved for food contact.
PPWR innovation: Laser-markable & NIR-detectable black masterbatches
Lifocolor combines two key requirements in a single product: dark packaging remains detectable in recycling sorting plants whilst also allowing permanent laser marking without the use of printing inks. This trade fair highlight is complemented by further PPWR solutions: NIR-detectable silver masterbatches for authentic metallic finishes without coating, as well as the LIFOCYCLE portfolio, which offers recyclable colour masterbatches, colour matching in rPET and product protection for recycled materials.
