Our collaboration with INEOS has enabled us to develop a new stretch hooding product with 30 % PCR content , without increasing gauge or compromising on performance .
Our new product , developed in close partnership with COVERIS , is a clear demonstration of this . Within INEOS we remain committed to Sustainability , to achieving Net Zero in our operations and bringing solutions to the market that enable others in the supply chain to lower their carbon footprints too .”
This , and other Recycl-IN polymers , are proving that plastics remain a valuable resource , even after initial use . INEOS O & P continues to pursue technological and engineering solutions to increase the recycled content of the materials they produce , and to demonstrate to customers , supply chain partners and to the wider world that their new range of Recycl-IN polymers perform to the high standards that they expect .
Mike Richardson , Technical Director , Coveris Winsford said , “ Coveris have extensive experience of producing high performance films with significant recycled content . Our collaboration with INEOS has enabled us to develop a new stretch hooding product with 30 % PCR content , without increasing gauge or compromising on performance . Supporting our vision of NO WASTE and the wider industry sustainability goals , the new solution offsets the need for virgin plastics whilst maintaining full recyclability , as well as being fully compliant with UK plastics packaging tax . This will allow our customers the benefits of palletised transportation using plastic tertiary packaging without compromising their sustainability and circular economy goals .”
