Holland Colours Featured in The Interview World: Improving rPET Quality for a Circular Economy

Recently, our very own Steve Horrocks, Business Development Manager – Packaging, was interviewed by The Interview World during the 3rd GCPRS 2026.

In the article “Holland Colours Is Transforming PET Recycling Globally,” Steve discusses how Holland Colours supports the plastics industry with solutions designed to improve the quality and performance of recycled PET. He also shares insights into the growth of PET recycling and the role innovation plays in maintaining material quality across repeated recycling loops. 

Improving rPET quality and performance 

Steve highlights several solutions for rPET, including color toners that help correct color inconsistencies, an advanced stabilizer designed to reduce deterioration during processing, and an intrinsic viscosity enhancer that can improve material quality for more demanding applications. 

Our solutions enhance the quality of recycled PET while preserving its performance over the long term. 

These technologies can help improve color consistency and clarity while maintaining the long-term performance of recycled PET. Steve also explains how improving rPET quality can support manufacturers in meeting sustainability goals without increasing the product’s carbon footprint.

Maintaining material quality becomes particularly important across repeated recycling loops. Holland Colours’ stabilizer technology is designed to help preserve the performance, consistency and value of rPET over time, supporting greater material circularity.

Growing momentum for PET recycling 

Steve also shares his perspective on the development of the global PET recycling industry. While Europe has led the transition for many years, momentum is increasing in the United States and markets such as India, Nigeria and Vietnam. 

The recycling industry, particularly for PET, is experiencing remarkable global growth. 

As more markets introduce recycled-content requirements, brands are under increasing pressure to incorporate recycled plastics into their packaging. At the same time, these developments are creating new opportunities for innovation throughout the recycling value chain.
