Right: Borouge and partners have devel- oped a heavy-duty shipping sack with 30% PCR content
one-component barrier coating from Henkel – and Cirkit OxyBar BC 1582 from Siegwerk. The coating can be applied on both flexo and gravure presses at industrial machine speeds on various substrates, giving excellent transparency. Its compatibility with recycling has been confirmed by Cyclos HTP. Packaging integrity is achieved using ExxonMo-
bil’s latest generation of materials such as Exceed S and Exceed XP, in combination with Exact materials in the sealant layer. The MDO-PE films had been developed by ExxonMobil and Kraus Folie, using ExxonMobil HDPE and Enable materials, and produced on a Varex II extrusion line with an inline MDO unit.
PCR in bags Borouge has developed a method to incorporate post-consumer recycled (PCR) content into PE-based heavy duty shipping sacks. New sacks are made from 30% PCR content – originally used in the same type of product – to- gether with Borouge’s Borstar and Anteo PE grades. Borouge worked with partners, Han King Plastic Machinery, Kunshan Golden Alliance, Shanghai Longstone and Shanghai Tianqiang to develop the closed-loop PE for heavy-duty sacks, with the aim of developing a sustainable solution with a lower carbon footprint. Material from used sacks is recovered through waste collection streams, then mechanically recycled. The recycled resins are then incorporated – with virgin PE – to the end application. “This circular solution enables multiple recy- cling cycles within the same application, which
takes us a step closer towards a circular economy,” said Eddie Wang, senior vice president for Asia North at Borouge.
