Global materials science company Dow has aided Mengniu, a Chinese dairy company, to develop its first all-polyethylene (PE) recyclable yogurt pouch packaging.
Dow‘s INNATE TF-BOPE resins within the all-PE packaging enable traditional hard-to-recycle packaging to be integrated into closed-loop recycling streams through responsible recycling and mechanical recycling technology, providing consumers with more choices for sustainable packaging.
Mengniu has set a goal to achieve 100% technically recyclable packaging by 2025, striving to adopt low-carbon packaging in all of its product lines. This goal is part of the push for eco-consumerism in the global dairy products sector.
