Case study: Selene and ExxonMobil Signature Polymers create downgauged high-performance valve bags incorporating up to 50% PCR content

As the global packaging industry embraces concepts of a more circular economy, the need for packaging that is designed for both recyclability and resource-efficiency is apparent. Selene and ExxonMobil Signature Polymers developed downgauged valve bags, designed for recyclability*, which can help lower packaging costs and address EPR schemes, where applicable, for the value chain users. Footnote *Designed with features intended to support recyclability. Actual recyclability depends on factors such as local collection, sortation, and recycling infrastructure, as well as the condition and configuration of the film after use. However, access to facilities that accept and process plastic film is limited and not widely available.
