Dow introduces bio-PE resins for stretch cling films in APAC

Source：Adsale Plastics Network Date ：2020-07-28 Editor ：JK

Dow and Thong Guan, one of the largest manufacturers of plastic packaging products in Malaysia, have introduced a new range of bio-based polyethylene (bio-PE) in Asia Pacific. Nano Bio, the new range of stretch cling films by Thong Guan, will be made using Dow's linear low-density polyethylene, ELITE 5230GC R Enhanced Polyethylene resins.

This bio-based resin is derived from renewable feedstock which comes from tall oil - a residue of paper production - from sustainably managed forests. Unlike other alternative renewable feedstocks, it does not compete with the human food chain, and no extra land is required for its production.

Thong Guan will be using Dow's bio-based resin for producing plastic stretch cling film.

Dow uses a mass balance approach, which encourages the use of renewable feedstock, by supporting sustainable systems for producing plastic. This approach enables the industry to transition away from its dependency on fossil fuels as a feedstock.

"To achieve our new sustainability targets, Dow is committed to implementing and advancing technologies to manufacture products using fewer resources, thereby helping our customers to reduce their carbon footprint," said Bambang Candra, Asia Pacific commercial vice president of Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics.

The Nano Bio range of stretch cling film is produced by new nanotechnology, downgauged with increased strength, flexibility, and durability. In addition to being environmentally friendly, this optimized packaging ensures pallet load stability and curtails damages and accidents during transportation.

"We are committed to preserving the environment and resources for the future world. The continuous collaboration with Dow illustrates our dedication to offering renewable products and promoting sustainability," said Dato' Ang Poon Chuan, managing director, Thong Guan Industries.
