SABIC has announced its recent collaboration with a leader in film manufacturing technologies, Brückner Maschinenbau. This industry-leading innovation combines SABIC's certified circular BOPP and BOPE materials with Brückner's world leading manufacturing technology for flexible packaging. The collaboration aims to encourage flexible packaging manufacturers to use SABIC's TRUCIRCLE™ solutions for certified circular polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) to create more sustainable products.
Dr. Stefan Seibel, Head of New Technologies, Brückner Maschinenbau, said: "Flexible packaging converters are expanding their range of applications and offer a polypropylene which incorporates recycled content as a drop-in solution and viable alternative to existing biax-film lines, offering added sustainability benefits without affecting quality. This is a huge step forward in our journey towards closing the loop across the plastics value chain and working together to create a circular economy."
Mark Vester, Circular Economy Leader at SABIC, said: "With Brückner's machinery and processing expertise, convertors can take full advantage of our innovative TRUCIRCLE solutions and integrate it into their flexible packaging. SABIC and Brückner are working together to find further solutions to improve the recyclability of packaging films and enable manufacturers to create more sustainable products which will help to drive forward the circularity of our industry."
