This launch marks a milestone in Dow's commitment to advancing circularity and Transforming the Waste.
By 2030, Dow aims to Transform the Waste and commercialize three million metric tons of circular and renewable solutions annually. To achieve this, Dow is expanding its efforts to advance circular and sustainable packaging. Aligned with these sustainability goals, the launch of REVOLOOP Plastics Resins comes with a new promise to unlock even more value in plastic waste for customers and partners.
Two new grades of REVOLOOP Plastics Resins are launched and are approved for non-food contact packaging applications. One contains 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) and the second one is a formulated grade which contains up to 85% PCR derived from household waste.
'With the launch of our new grades of REVOLOOP Recycled Plastics Resins, we continue to expand our sustainability portfolio, working with brands, converters and recyclers to design new ways to use less plastic in packaging and to help that what is used is fully recyclable,' said
