ExxonMobil’s approach to sustainability
ExxonMobil is committed to creating sustainable solutions that improve quality of life and meet society’s evolving needs in ways that help protect people, the environment, and the communities where we operate. The corporation’s approach is reflected in the “Sustainability” section of our website.
Expanding the plastics life cycle
We support a more circular economy for plastics and help society address the plastic waste challenge by giving end-of-life plastic another life as valuable new products and enabling our customers to accomplish more while using less plastic.
Design for recyclability
We offer plastic film solutions designed to support recyclability in the few communities with collection programs and facilities that accept plastic film. Actual recyclability depends on local systems and package design.
Incorporation of recycled content
Our high-performance polyolefins can help customers incorporate recycled content while maintaining mechanical properties and performance.
Certified-circular polymers
Our certified-circular polymers, supported by our Exxtend™ technology, help drive the demand for using plastic as a valuable feedstock. Certified-circular polymers are virgin quality polymers that are accompanied by an ISCC PLUS “Sustainability Declaration” that matches the mass of virgin quality polymers that we sell to a corresponding amount of plastic that we transformed back into usable raw materials through advanced recycling. Certified-circular plastics do not represent specific amounts of GHG emissions or recycled content.
