POLYOLEFINS ALIGNING WITH SUSTAINABILITY GOALS POLYOLEFINS ARE EVERYWHERE Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are among the most popular plastics in the world. And, they can fit a sustainable model as they have a high potential to be successfully recycled. This can include increasing the percentage of post-consumer recycled content (PCR), reducing the carbon footprint during production or shipping, or improving package recyclability.

Homepage // News Center // PlanetPak™ Delivery System Reduces Waste and Improves Recyclability With a design that features a corrugated cardboard outer box, PlanetPak also includes a recyclable 25-liter (5.5 gallon) polyethylene inner liner. Once the contents have been consumed, boxes and liners are easily flattened for recycling.

Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

Recycled-content TPEs and polyamides Available in North America, injection-moldable reSound R VX TPEs utilize 25 percent (PCR) and up to 40 percent (PIR) recycled content, and both grades can be overmolded onto polypropylene (PP). TPEs, as well as recycled nylon 6 and 66, are commercially available in North America. About Oceanworks Oceanworks® is the global marketplace for recycled ocean plastics.

Recycled Content & Recyclability We offer color concentrates that use post-consumer recycled (PCR) polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) as carrier resin. Recyclability Assessment at CycleWorks™ Our Cycleworks™ Innovation Center specializes in testing and evaluating recycling solutions. Recycling trials taking into consideration standard recycling protocols can be run to provide a real- world recyclability evaluation.

According to leading market research firms, in-demand barrier technologies affect not only shelf life, but also brand integrity, product aesthetics, lightweighting, and ultimately, recyclability. Our packaging customers are continually seeking novel ways to improve recyclability and increase sustainability, while maintaining or extending product protection and shelf life," said View original content:http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/polyone-barrier-technologies-enable-sustainability-and-recyclability-in-packaging-300642224.html
