We are proud to announced the release of our new FDA-compliant recycled polyethylene (rPE) resin. Sourced from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) milk jugs, it is the first mechanically recycled food-contact resin to hit the food packaging market.
The new grade, SYNDIGO™ rPE-0860-FC, is part of our SYNDIGO rPE portfolio. Converters and brand owners will now be able to incorporate rPE into their food packaging products in both flexible and rigid packaging designs.
“Achieving the high level of performance needed for use in food contact puts this recycled resin in a field with few others and allows our customers to target the most demanding applications,” said Alan Schrob, NOVA Chemicals director of mechanical recycling.
Our SYNDIGO rPE portfolio includes three other resins that can be used for non-food contact applications such as e-commerce mailers and industrial films, all designed to strengthen the supply of post-consumer recycled (PCR) material to meet emerging recycled content requirements and legislation.
