Collaboration between Newton, Thong Guan and ExxonMobil study on recycled shrink film

Demand for recycled PE shrink film is likely to grow in the next decade, pushing Polyethylene (PE) recycling rates to new heights. The entire packaging value chain will need to be ready to play a part in helping to cater to these changes.

Newton Centre, Thong Guan and ExxonMobil collaborated in a recent study on recycled shrink film, where recycled materials were tested and used to be made into new collation shrink film. Watch the recorded webinar to learn more about this study and the developing trends that will shape the market for recycled PE shrink film.
