Materials science company Dow has joined forces with Procter & Gamble China (P&G China) to introduce a new range of recyclable air capsule e-commerce packaging. This innovative packaging solution combines Dow's ELITE AT high-performance PE resins with P&G China's technology to significantly reduce excess packaging. Compared to traditional corrugated parcel boxes, the air capsule packaging reduces material weight by 40%, resulting in only 25% of the original trucking needs and 75% less warehouse space.
Moreover, the updated e-commerce packaging is recyclable, and includes new tamper-free opening features, an easy-to-tear strip, and an auto-deflate function for hassle-free disposal.
Dow's collaboration with P&G China aligns with its sustainability objectives to make all packaging solutions 100% recyclable or reusable by 2035, contributing to the reduction of packaging waste generated by e-commerce. Dow is also committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
