Continuing an ongoing collaboration of almost 20 years, ExxonMobil and Windmöller & Hölscher (W&H) will demonstrate a 40-micron, 5-layer polyolefin dedicated (POD) collation shrink film, which includes 30 percent recycled polyethylene (PE) at K2019.

Royal DSM has announces at the K-Show that its engineering plastics business will offer a full alternative range of its existing portfolio based on bio- and/or recycled-based materials by 2030.

Plastics recycling, the circular economy and successful examples of closed plastics cycles are the focus of attention at EREMA’s Circonomic Centre, which was opened in outdoor area FG 09.1.

ExxonMobil and Reifenhäuser have collaborated to make heavy duty sacks (HDS) using multi-cycle recycledpolyethylene (PE) from prior heavy duty sacks, without compromising performance.

The shredder-extruder recycling technology provider PURE LOOP has added new system types to its ISEC evo series and now offers high output alternatives in the medium to high throughput range.

Borealis and Neste have announced a strategic co-operation to accelerate circularity and bioeconomy in plastics.

The findings of an independent laboratory testing of ‘EcoLam High Plus’ technology show it is consistent with recycling.
