Dow, a global materials science company, and Liby, a leading laundry brand in China, announced several new achievements that address plastic packaging waste to helping promote a circular economy in the country.

Dow and Liby help promote circular economy and sustainable packaging in China.

They include:

• Dow’s recyclable packaging solutions have been adopted for use in nine of Liby’s products since the brand introduced China’s first recyclable packaging for laundry pods in 2020. To date, Liby’s sustainable solutions have allowed millions of its customers the ability to recycle packaging waste easily, along with responsible disposal and recycling infrastructure.

• Enabled by Dow’s INNATE TF Polyethylene Resins for Tenter Frame Biaxial Orientation (TF-BOPE), Liby’s recyclable packaging earned the first “Double E” (easy-to-collect and easy-to regenerate) label in China, which helps consumers distinguish recyclable packaging from other packaging.

  
  

• Liby closed the loop in plastic waste re-use by adopting recyclable cushion packaging made with Dow’s post-consumer recycled (PCR) resins, which are converted from plastic waste provided by Dow’s recycling partner – LOVERE.

These new achievements are part of Dow’s sustainability targets and commitment to close the loop by enabling 100% of its products sold into packaging applications to be reusable or recyclable by 2035.

“We are delighted to collaborate with industry leader Liby who shares the same vision as Dow to accelerate the move from linear to circular economy,” noted Bambang Candra, Asia Pacific commercial vice president of Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics.

Dr. Liping Zhang, Liby’s Chief Scientist, shared, “The use of recyclable packaging and PCR resins is one of Liby’s sustainability focuses, which also supports China’s peak emissions and carbon neutral goals. We are proud to be working with Dow to achieve a circular economy and to stop the plastic waste in China”.

The partnership between Dow and Liby continues to expand with several ongoing recyclable packaging projects in the pipeline, including another PCR resin application that will be announced soon.
