Apparently recycled content has a slight color to them (which is why you'll notice that eco-resin casts a slightly greyish tint rathr than being perfectly clear). I assume it's a matter of technology and time to figure out how to keep that translucency there. That said, they did launch 100% which is made from 100% recycled plastics (milk bottles, laundry bottles and the like). They color sort them to create their four color lines. The green and orange mixes are the prettiest in person. The snowmelt and midnight have a duller finish than I'd like.
