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.
