Dow's circular polymers for recyclable food-contact barrier shrink film

Source：Adsale Plastics Network Date ：2021-09-17 Editor ：JK

Dow and Bolloré have joined forces on a pilot project which enables the use of recycled content in new food-contact packaging applications which can in turn be recycled after use. This partnership marks another step forward in Dow’s circularity ambitions introducing more packages on shelves which contain circular polymers derived from plastic waste.

 

Bollore’s OXBTEC_RCB (Recyclable Circular-Based) barrier shrink film is manufactured with high quality circular polymers from Dow. These polymers come from a feedstock made from 100% plastic waste and are developed using advanced recycling. Advanced recycling is complementary to conventional recycling processes like mechanical recycling.

 

This technology enables mixed used plastics to be broken down into their basic chemical elements and repolymerized into the equivalent of virgin plastic which can then be used in new food-contact applications.

 

This is an important development as it enables hard-to-recycle plastics to be recycled and, importantly, used safely and effectively in food-contact applications, rather than ending up in landfill or incineration. In addition, advanced recycling processes are expected to save approximately 1.5 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of plastic recycled, compared to incineration of unrecycled plastics.

Dow and Bolloré develop recyclable food-contact barrier shrink film.


This pioneering film is to be rolled out first in the UK, in September, where it will be exclusively distributed by Yorkshire Packaging Systems (YPS), a long-established partner of Bolloré. It will be incorporated into production by their customer Cranswick, a leading supplier of meat and poultry, for the packaging of their whole bird products.

 

“This is an exciting collaboration and we are thrilled to be working with Bolloré, YPS and Cranswick to launch this high-quality, safe and recyclable packaging made from pioneering circular polymers” commented Peter Sandkühler, Sustainability Director at Dow.

 

Nicolas Badier, Product and R&D Manager from Bolloré, said, “We are thrilled with the successful technological advances that made it possible for us to present now a certified recyclable barrier film for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), which overcomes one of the biggest challenges of the industry and allows a film with recycled content to be used in food contact applications.”

 

“This film represents the holy grail for MAP food applications such as poultry wrapping and is the result of much research, development and stringent testing by Dow and Bolloré. I am delighted therefore that YPS can spearhead the integration of this revolutionary product across the UK by delivering it first and foremost to Cranswick’s eco-conscious customer base,” added Josh Gibson, Sales Director at Yorkshire Packaging Systems.

 

Further to advancing a circular economy for plastics, Bolloré’s barrier shrink film – which is designed especially for the packaging of fresh food products - is also supporting the fight against food waste.

 

Its barrier shrink film can help prolong the shelf-life of food. For example, by doubling the use-by date of poultry from 7 days to 14, the entire supply chain is optimized by increasing the window of safe consumption for the public.
