26 Aug 2019 --- Color and additive concentrates for plastics company Clariant’s new CESA-IR additive masterbatches make dark-colored plastics visible to the near-infrared (NIR) sensors used in automated polymer sorting systems. While many companies use black packaging to brand prestige products, it can pose problems to recycling systems and has led to calls for black to be phased out of the palette. Clariant’s new masterbatches help to resolve this issue and allow for increased recycling rates in Europe and further afield.
