Case study: Create mono-material packaging designed for recyclability*, containing an MDO PE substrate with outstanding stiffness and excellent optics comparable to BOPP

Through innovative value chain collaboration between Windmöller & Hölscher, B&B, Henkel and ExxonMobil Signature Polymers, a thoughtfully designed mono-material PE pouch was created. Combining W&H leading MDO technology with ExxonMobil Signature Polymers resins enables customers to achieve an MDO PE substrate with outstanding stiffness and excellent optics, comparable to BOPP. Outstanding print quality and excellent process stability was achieved with W&H’s ALPHAFLEX. * 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 package after use. However, access to facilities that accept and process plastic film is limited and not widely available.
