One molecule can change everything

Akestra™ is an innovative copolyester that can be co-extruded with recycled PET, providing added heat resistance, while maintaining its recyclability in existing PET recycling streams. This makes it an excellent alternative to traditional and hard to recycle materials such as polystyrene.

It also addresses the lack of food grade recycled polypropylene used for hot fill food packaging and hot food & beverage packaging, with the added benefit of high post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and being recyclable at scale.

This innovation elevates the performance qualities of rPET, opening up a spectrum of new application areas for PET in heat resistant packaging. It’s technically advanced, it’s regulation-ready and it’s future-proof.

Sustainability within the lubricant industry involves more than just reducing environmental impact; it aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) encompassing social and economic aspects. The industry prioritizes transparency in Product Carbon Footprint calculations to set and achieve sustainability goals effectively.
