Dow unveils the INNATE™ TF 220 Resin, a next-generation material designed to enable high-performance biaxially oriented polyethylene (BOPE) films that support recyclability without compromising on functionality.
Dow is working closely with partners across the packaging value chain to deliver scalable, real-world solutions to today’s most pressing environmental challenges. A prime example is its partnership with leading laundry brand Liby, which led to the integration of 10% REVOLOOP™ Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Resin into the packaging of Liby’s new "Floral Era" detergent range.
"Asia Pacific is where material science meets circular ambition. Through breakthrough innovations like INNATE™ TF 220 resin-redefining the designed for recyclable packaging performance-and strategic partnerships across the value chain, we are accelerating the shift toward packaging circularity [...]," said Bambang Candra, commercial vice president, APAC, Dow Packaging & Specialty Plastics.
