Big breakthrough! Dow’s New Barrier Film Technology Helps Single Port Packaging Recycling

Dow (Dow) introduced the latest oxygen barrier RecycleReady technology with polymer modifiers. The technological breakthrough allows cereal and nuts to be recycled in a way that was previously not possible in flexible packaging.

For a long time, flexible packaging has brought customers many conveniences such as flexibility, portability, resealability, etc., including an innovative type of packaging-single-mouth packaging, which is considered to be the ideal packaging for packaging, but in the traditional sense Say, it's not recyclable.

Stacy Fields, Dow Chemical North America Packaging Director, pointed out that a recent study by Trucost on the environmental costs of plastic consumer goods and plastic packaging showed that if plastics are replaced with other materials that have the same function as plastics each year, the cost will be reduced by 1390. billion to $533 billion. At the same time, as many as 78 million tons of plastic waste are produced every year, and only 14% can be recycled. Therefore, Dow's technological breakthrough is of far-reaching significance.

It is understood that Seventh Generation, a company committed to sustainable development, has launched the first batch of packaging products using RecycleReady technology earlier this year.
