As manufacturers across sectors look to incorporate post-consumer recycled content (PCR) into their packaging, and reduce CO2 emissions and energy footprints, Dow showcased its REVOLOOP™ recycled plastic polyethylene (PE) resins product portfolio at PACK EXPO in Chicago. 

The REVOLOOP resin is designed with 70% PCR, which provides up to 40% recycled content in the final product, Dow reports, while providing similar quality and performance as materials made with virgin resins. Two commercial grades are available for packaging like shrink wrap and stretch.

REVOLOOP resins are the first polyethylene (PE) compounds to achieve certification in accordance with the Standard UNE-EN 15343 for plastics recycling traceability and recycled content by Spain-based AENOR. A 2018 LCA study by the Association of Plastics Recyclers suggested up to 34% reductions in CO2 emissions when using REVOLOOP resins versus virgin polymers, depending on the final application and the percentage of PCR used in the formulation.
