Pregis leverages circular PE resins to offer sustainable foam packaging
Pregis introduced innovative foam technology supported by certified-circular polyethylene (PE) resins. Through collaboration with ExxonMobil, a leader in advanced recycling technology, Pregis now offers protective foam packaging with circularity commitment.
Pregis collaborated with ExxonMobil to introduce circular solution in protective foam packaging.
The collaboration leverages ExxonMobil's investment in advanced recycling technology and Pregis' holistic approach to circular design.
Using ISCC PLUS’s mass balance attribution methodology, plastic waste processed through ExxonMobil’s advanced recycling process, with less manufacturing losses, is attributed to the certified-circular plastic sold to Pregis.
Pregis then uses the certified-circular plastics from ExxonMobil to produce foam in its Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and Visalia, California Facilities, which are both in the US and ISCC PLUS certified.
“We view advanced recycling technologies and the use of certified-circular resins as one more set of tools that allow us to help tackle the plastic waste challenge. This achievement embodies Pregis’ commitment to plastics circularity,” explained Ryan Wolcott, Chief Sustainability Officer at Pregis.
