Dow’s Innate TF-Bope resins help ensure that packaging maintains its appearance and productiveness. The packaging enabled by Innate Bope resins is said to enable hard to recycle packaging to be integrated into closed-loop recycling streams through recycling and mechanical recycling technology.

Bambang Candra, Asia Pacific commercial vice president of Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics, said: “This collaboration is a significant step in facilitating recyclability and empowering the possibilities for recycled packaging to be transformed into high-value applications through responsible disposal and appropriate recycling process, reducing our industry’s reliance on unrenewable resources. Through our advanced research and development capabilities, we strive to help brand owners like Mengniu to take action and deliver on their sustainability commitments.”

Mengniu set a goal to achieve 100% technically recyclable packaging by 2025, aiming to adopt low-carbon packaging in all product lines. Environmental-friendly manufacturing is a part of Mengniu’s sustainability strategy, and adopting more sustainable packaging is one action to fulfil the commitment.
