Circular Economy

Product sustainability

• Initial 2019 launch across wide range of flexible packaging applications • Ongoing trials in non packaging markets

• Targeting up to 50% rPET content

• rPET is sourced from DRS schemes in Northern Europe

• Estimated carbon foot print reduction of 1.4kgs for every 1kg of virgin material displaced

Mylar® and Melinex® rPET films

LuxCR™ chemical depolymerisation

• Unique process depolymerising recycled PET back to BHET

• Upcycles mechanically recycled PET

Benefits of LuxCR™ process

• Depolymerisation reverses the thermal degradation that occurs through multiple mechanical recycling processes

• Mechanical recycling has food contact limitations for some raw material streams and in certain applications

• Recycled BHET (bis(2-hydroxyethylterephthalate) is chemically indistinguishable from virgin material

• Polyester is the most widely recycled polymer with over 1.33MMtes recycled

• BOPET is widely used in mono PET tray and lid structures where both rigid and flexible packaging is theoretically recyclable together

• Multiple end of life options currently being assessed where PET can be separated and recovered from mixed plastic laminates

• Feasibility studies underway to look to increase the amount of PIR recycling
