Case study: Multi-cycle recycled PE heavy duty sacks

A collaboration between ExxonMobil, a leading global supplier of performance PE polymers, and Reifenhäuser, a leading manufacturer of converting technology, has developed a solution for multi-cycle recycling of heavy duty sacks within the same value-in-chain loop. The solution utilizes integrated tracing technology from Reifenhäuser that identifies and tracks the original film formulation and recycled materials. Because the original film structure is known, a new structure that includes both recycled PE and virgin performance PE can be formulated to deliver the required quality and performance.
