Learn more about how members of Plastics Europe are contributing to close carbon loops.
CIRCULAR FOOD PACKAGING
Coffee cups from chemically recycled polypropylene (OMV Group)
Swiss dairy company Emmi is partnering with Borealis and Greiner Packaging to produce Emmi CAFFÈ LATTE drinking cups using chemically recycled polypropylene, based on the mass balance approach.
Recycable spouted food pouches (Dow)
Dow developed PE-rich barrier food packaging using innovative spout insertion sealing technology to enable efficient production and recyclability of packaging and spout together in the PE recycling stream.
Certified compostable and oven-safe paper trays for ready meals (BASF)
The Australian food packaging manufacturer Confoil and BASF have jointly developed a certified compostable, microwave, and oven-safe paper tray for ready meals.
Ultra-high barrier packaging concept (Dow)
High-barrier duplex laminates based on materialized and AIOx-coated, oriented polyethylene film, developed by Dow with industry partners.
Closing the loop on food storage containers (BASF)
IrgaCycle® by BASF mitigates the thermal and mechanical stress of the recycling process. It also increases the use of recycled PP to the extent that the containers are made with 100% recycled pellets. This container is safe for food contact and is compliant with regulations on food contact materials in Europe and the U.S.
Ultra-high barrier packaging concept (Dow)
High-barrier duplex laminate based on metalized, oriented polyethylene film, developed by Dow with industry partners.
CIRCULAR MATERIALS
Stand-up pouches with PCR rich lamination film (Dow)
Innovative all-PE laminate combining MDO-PE with a PCR-rich sealant film, delivering a final solution with 30% PCR content overall. Suitable for non-food contact packaging applications requiring good stiffness/toughness balance.
Perfume caps made of bio-based and circular plastics (Dow)
LVMH and Dow intend to collaborate to improve sustainable packaging across major perfume and cosmetics brands
A mono-material toothbrush (Evonik)
To further improve the ecological footprint of the toothbrush, a more sustainable material is also used in this case: VESTAMID® eCO, a polyamide-12 (PA12).
Renewable plastic in the medical device industry (Neste)
Mass balancing supports a gradual introduction of alternative raw materials by mixing them with and phasing out fossil raw materials.
Soother is composed of renewable-sourced polypropylene (Neste)
Collaboration between Neste, Borealis and MAM brings new soother made with renewably-sourced feedstock to market.
CIRCULAR TEXTILES AND FIBERS
Bicycle bag with reduced CO2 footprint thanks to mass-balanced Ultramid® Ccycled® (BASF)
Bicycle bag reduces CO2 footprint thanks to raw materials made from recycled old tires, thanks to BASF’s Ultramid® Ccycled®, a mass-balanced polyamide.
Textile-to-textile recycling with loopamid® (BASF)
BASF is transforming textile waste into a valuable resource and is transforming used textiles into new garments.
CIRCULAR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS
Bow door handle made from mass-balanced Ultramid® (BASF)
To produce the plastic for the bow door handle for selected Mercedes-Benz models, BASF combined alternative raw materials in a mass balance approach: pyrolysis oil generated at Pyrum Innovations AG from scrap tires and biomethane from agricultural waste and food industry residues.
Making car materials more sustainable (Evonik)
Evoniks future sustainable car materials are making autos more sustainable.
CIRCULAR FEEDSTOCKS
Pyrolysis oil condensates made of mixed waste (ARCUS)
The ARCUS process is a pyrolysis-based process that converts mixed plastic waste (including ABS, PET and PVC) and produces high-quality liquids that meet all regulatory requirements.
Recycled carbon (Neste)
Pure hydrocarbons made from chemically recycled plastics waste can be used to produce virgin-quality plastics again.
Renewable carbon (Neste)
Renewable Neste RE consisting of bio-based carbon is a solution for plastics producers wishing to reduce fossil carbon content in their products.
Polyethylene (PEX) pipes based on feedstock from chemically recycled PEX waste (Neste)
Neste, Uponor, Wastewise Group and Borealis enable chemical recycling of hard-to-recycle plastic waste into new high-quality plastic pipes.
Polyurethane Recycling – Cycle for Foams (Evonik)
Evonik cooperates with REMONDIS on sustainable polyurethane recycling.
Additives for Recycling (Evonik)
Evoniks additive portfolio for wet stage, granulation and compounding: defoaming, delabeling, demetallizing, deinking, wetting, foaming, dewatering, draining.
Recycling Plastics from Automotive (Carboliq)
Carboliq processes hard-to-recycle plastics from the automotive industry.
Recycling WEEE Plastics (Carboliq)
Carboliq processes hard-to-recycle WEEE plastics from the electronic industry.
Recycling multilayer film from post-production (Carboliq)
Carboliq processes hard-to-recycle multilayer film from post-production.
Recycling post-industrial multilayer film (Carboliq)
Carboliq processes hard-to-recycle post-industrial multilayer film.
Recycling Solid Recovered Fuel (Carboliq)
Carboliq processes solid recovered fuel (SRF) with chemical recycling.
Recycling heavily mixed waste (Dow)
Dow and Mura technologies are recycling hard-to-recycle mixed waste.
Soiled plastics waste (OMV Group)
The OMV Group is processing hard-to-recycle soiled plastics waste with chemical recycling.
Heavily mixed plastics waste (OMV Group)
The OMV Group is processing hard-to-recycle mixed plastics waste with chemical recycling.
