ExxonMobil and Reifenhäuser Launch Stretch Hood Film with 35% PCR for Sustainable Packaging
ExxonMobil, alongside Reifenhäuser, has created a stretch hood film with 35% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, addressing challenges of using contaminated household-sourced PCR in high-performance applications. Utilizing advanced materials, including ExxonMobil's proprietary resins, the film achieves required performance metrics such as friction control and load retention.
Reifenhäuser's twin-screw technology enhances the film's quality by ensuring thorough mixing and removing volatiles. The film has passed rigorous testing and was named a finalist in the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2026, highlighting its contribution to sustainable industrial packaging.
