Full polyethylene (PE) laminated solutions for packaging with sustainability
benefits
Stand-up pouches and other consumer packaging are frequently made of laminates - multi-material structures that can provide excellent shelf-
appeal & machinability. Unfortunately, these highly optimized multi-material structures can be more difficult to recycle. Finding a solution to these
multi-material structures without compromising package functionalities (such as oxygen barrier, shelf-appeal, etc.) is very challenging. At
ExxonMobil we believe that collaborations with the entire value chain are crucial to finding solutions to these challenges.
Recyclable* full PE** packaging solution with outstanding stiffness
See how ExxonMobil collaborated with the value chain to create a full PE laminated packaging solution, consisting of an MDO-PE substrate with excellent stiffness and optics, keeping the same overall laminate thickness.
*Recyclable in communities that have programs and facilities in place that collect and recycle these items.
**With full PE meaning at least 95% polyethylene, allowing for inks and adhesives.

Key potential benefits
PE laminated films composed of Exceed™ S, Exceed™ XP, Exceed™ and Enable™ performance PE polymers and Exact™ plastomers offer:
In our ‘Creating a circular film to film loop’ case, we incorporated
50% recycled content from the pouch into a new HDS bag and
passed all stringent requirements
Toughness/stiffness balance - damage resistant, maintains ability to stand upright
Sealing performance - packaging integrity, which can result in less waste
Full PE pouches recycled* to create new
pouches
Full PE laminated SUP packaging solutions as a replacement
for conventional multi-material structures which can be
difficult to recycle.
