Apeldoorn, October 01, 2025 – Following the recent RecyClass technology approval, Holland Colours is proud to announce that the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) has formally recognized HolcoPET CircStab V101-15-32440 (Powered by Evercycle, a trademark of SI Group) as meeting the highest criteria for recyclability according to the APR Design® Guide.
HolcoPET CircStab V101-15-32440 stabilizes PET during recycling by preventing yellowing while preserving brightness and viscosity. The liquid stabilizer was tested via PET-CG-01 up to a loading of 0.2 wt% and was evaluated using the most stringent, industry-accepted criteria that encompass a wide range of design features affecting plastics recycling.
This Critical Guidance recognition marks another important milestone in Holland Colours’ mission to deliver additive technologies that enable recyclability and circularity in plastics. Together with the approval by RecyClass, it underscores our ongoing commitment to advancing sustainable packaging solutions.
