Ineos has also developed new resin solution in order to replace BOPET which is now named BOPE. BOPET makes laminates unrecyclable because PET contaminates PO streams Therefore Ineos has invested to develop for new BOPE resins. With the R&D developments Ineos aims to produce fully recyclable pouches for dry food and cosmetics.
We would like to update on recent product developments of Ineos regarding circular economy.
Ineos has been working on circular economy and designing for recycling in order to prevent material loss and littering during production.
