From 5 to 7% are added to the PET, keeping the PET transparency and recyclability. The company Invista also holds the active barrier technology, the OxyClear resin, which contains high transparency oxidable polyester and allows injection and blow molding and recycling of PET bottles. ColorMatrix presents the Amosorb oxygen absorber technology applied to mono and multilayers bottles (Figure 6.2). Constar sells the Oxbar technology, an oxygen absorber for multilayer PET bottles and MonOxbar and Diamond Clear (high transparency) for recyclable monolayer PET bottle. Valsper sells the active barrier resin ValOR TM compatible with PET, long term Activ 100 series and fast action Activ 300, for mono and multilayer packages, to the food, beverage and medical-pharmaceutical industry, which absorbing function is activated by the moist of the product at the package filling. Graham Packaging holds the Monosorb oxygen absorber technology for monolayer PET bottle. In the field of bottle caps, Grace Darex Packaging Technologies has an oxygen absorber technology called Celox.

It acts mainly by the mechanism of radicals scavenging, avoiding the propagation of the oxidation reactions. Synthetic antioxidants approved for food contact are options as antioxidants agents, as well as antioxidants natural extracts, which have been the target of recent studies. One of the suggestions is the association of this technology with the moisture and/or oxygen absorbers, increasing the food protection potential. The direct addition of antioxidants in food and beverages is very common, since they are approved for use as food additive. However, in fresh food and in many Packages with antioxidants
