Foam-Focused Recycling Projects
ExxonMobil and Partners Use New Techniques to Improve Products
Kanesa D — November 19, 2025
ExxonMobil Signature Polymers has entered a multi-partner collaboration with Erema, Moxietec, and Engel. Together, the companies are working to address one of the plastics industry’s most persistent challenges: effectively integrating recycled materials into foamed products without affecting performance.
The initiative also reflects the broader purpose of ExxonMobil Signature Polymers, which consolidates the company’s polyolefin portfolio under one unified brand. The streamlined structure is intended to make it easier for customers and value-chain partners to navigate product offerings, foster collaboration, and advance innovations across multiple business fronts.
“For this partnership, Erema processed a mixed stream of recyclates — 95% PP rigids and 5% PE film — into high-quality pellets using its advanced filtration and degassing system, while Moxietec applied its innovative foam technology to create lightweight locking blocks for construction applications to ensure impact strength was maintained where conventional foaming often falls short,” say the companies.
