Dow's INNATE TF-BOPE resins ensure that packaging maintains its superior appearance and productiveness. They allow traditional hard-to-recycle dairy packaging to be integrated into closed-loop recycling streams through responsible recycling and mechanical recycling technology, providing more choices of sustainable packaging.

“This collaboration is a significant step in facilitating recyclability and empowering the possibilities for recycled packaging to be transformed into high-value applications through responsible disposal and appropriate recycling process, reducing our industry’s reliance on unrenewable resources,” said Bambang Candra, Asia Pacific commercial vice president of Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics.

Mengniu set the goal to achieve 100% technically recyclable packaging by 2025, striving to adopt low-carbon packaging in all product lines.
