Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, announced it is the first company to purchase certified circular polyethylene material using ExxonMobil’s Exxtend technology for advanced recycling.

Amcor will leverage this new material across its global portfolio, providing customers in healthcare and food industries with circular content in a variety of solutions and applications.

Increasing the use of advanced recycling materials, such as circular polymers, is one way Amcor is meeting its sustainability pledge to develop all of its packaging to be recyclable or reusable by 2025 and increase the use of recycled content. The use of these materials will significantly add to the 113,000 metric tons of recycled material Amcor used in its packaging in fiscal year 2021.

Amcor increases use of advanced recycling materials leveraging ExxonMobil’s Exxtend technology.

The technology behind advanced recycling materials allows plastic waste to be converted into brand new products that are no different in quality and performance from ones made with virgin raw materials.

“Using advanced recycled materials is yet another step forward in Amcor meeting the challenges of our industry and offering our customers more sustainable packaging solutions,” brought up Peter Konieczny, Amcor Chief Commercial Officer. “By leveraging ExxonMobil’s Exxtend technology across our global product portfolio, Amcor is providing a true differentiator for our customers and the environment.”

Using its Exxtend technology, ExxonMobil offers certified circular polymers with the ISCC PLUS certification, which is widely recognized as an effective standard for certifying the circularity of chemical products that result from advanced recycling operations via mass balance attribution.

“We are proud to see our relationship with Amcor expand with our Exxtend technology to help address their sustainability goals, as well as those of their customers,” shared David Hergenrether, Vice President, Polyethylene, ExxonMobil. “We look forward to working closely with Amcor to develop products that meet customer expectations for high-performance PE products, while helping to recycle plastic waste.”
