Recycling is an important part of our business strategy.
More and more companies are adding color to their containers to make them more distinctive. In addition, new markets for PET such as water, beer, food, cosmetics, personal care, and household products require PET resins with special aesthetic or performance properties. The result is attractive, functional containers that can be difficult to recycle using traditional recycling methods. Innovations in recycling must keep pace with innovations in packaging. Consequently, Eastman has developed the exciting, new Optisys polyester recycling technology to promote the continuing growth of the PET industry and to be a responsible steward worldwide.
