Recyclable Packaging Resins

Dow has introduced 'INNATE™ TF 220,' a precision packaging resin engineered for fully recyclable, high-performance flexible packaging. The innovative biaxially oriented polyethylene (BOPE) resin delivers exceptional strength, heat resistance, and optical clarity, enabling mono-material packaging films that meet rigorous performance needs while remaining recyclable.

In tandem, Dow announced a collaboration with China’s Liby detergent brand, integrating 10% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content into Liby’s new laundry detergent packaging using Dow’s materials. This showcases a practical path to circular packaging at scale, boosting the adoption of recycled plastic without compromising package durability or the consumer experience. By aligning material science innovation with value-chain partnerships, Dow aims to transform 'vision into commercial reality,' accelerating progress toward packaging circularity.

Dow’s launch marks a significant advancement in sustainable packaging. The resin enables consumer brands to transition to recyclable plastic films without compromising quality, thereby helping to meet both regulatory and consumer demands for greener packaging.
