Final Report Development of NIR Detectable Black Plastic packaging The aim of this project was to develop a solution to enable Black Plastic packaging that is currently destined for landfill or energy recovery, to be recycled. Currently the most common Black pigments are based on carbon Black and this packaging is not Detectable by automatic Near infrared (NIR) sorting systems being used in plastics recycling. A wide range of potential solutions was investigated and viable options were identified in new machinery technologies and new colouration systems. Novel NIR Detectable Black colourants were developed and shown to work with APET, CPET, PP, HDPE, PS, and PVC in both laboratory and large-scale trials. Project code: MDP024-004 Research date: June 2009 March 2011 Date: September 2011 WRAP s vision is a world without waste, where resources are used sustainably.
