Global petrochemical company Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) said a few days ago that it has partnered with flexible film product manufacturerPolivouga to help develop frozen food packaging solutions using SABIC-certified recycled polyethylene from marine plastics
.
Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots focus on chemical machinery and equipment.
The project is understood to be designed to use post-consumer plastic waste "recycled from a 50-kilometer (31-mile) inland area of the waterway," thus meeting the definition of "ocean" by an external certification body
.
.
The third collaborator on the project is Spain-based Nueva Pescanova Group, which fishes, farms, processes and sells fresh, chilled and frozen seafood products
.
.
It is understood that the collected waste will be converted using SABIC's "Advanced Recycling" process to produce the company's certified recycled polymers SABIC® LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene) and LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene)
.
Polivouga further processes to produce Nueva Pescanova as a flexible packaging film used in frozen seafood bags

"This is an exciting circular packaging solution for us as it demonstrates how waste plastics that have the potential to end up in the ocean can be brought back into the circular material stream to be converted into high-quality food packaging," said SABIC Vice President President Sami Al said
.
.
"This project reaffirms our determined journey with SABIC to drive the industry's circularity and goes one step further, allowing us to now offer our customers premium flexible film products

SABIC said its recycled content polymers are part of the company's Trucircle product portfolio and services
.
The brand also includes design services for recyclability, mechanically recycled products, certified renewable polymers from bio-based feedstocks, and recycling plastics for high-quality applications and helping valuable waste plastics become closed-loop initiatives

It is reported that last year, the XENOY™ T2BX2500UV PC/PET blended plastic products produced by SABIC were certified by Underwriter Laboratories Inc, a well-known testing certification and standard development organization, and became the global chemical enterprise that passed the UL2809 environmental impact assessment and obtained the plastic content verification of Chihai
