Case study: Value chain partners develop a no-compromise mono-material PE pouch that can be de-laminated and de-inked
In a breakthrough development, a fully recyclable* mono-material PE pouch has been created that has similar properties to more difficult to recycle laminated pouches. The new pouch utilizes the latest polymers (including Exceed™ Stiff+ metallocene PE), inks, functional coatings, adhesives and conversion technology. (*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.)
