Plastics in the packaging industry play a pivotal role in ensuring barrier properties, tensile strength, and stability-

  • Sustainable plastic ensures environmental concerns such as recycling, waste management, and pollution-free uses.
  • Innovation in plastics ensures high tensile strength and thermal stability, making the plastic ideal for flexible electronics and industrial applications. 

Key Players and Innovations

Several major players lead the Plastic industry, including BASF, Dow Inc., Exxon Mobil Corporation, LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V., and SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries Corporation). These companies are at the forefront of innovation, continually developing eco-friendly innovations, such as bio-based plastics and high-barrier coatings. Companies are actively launching recyclable products due to the push for plastic recycling.  For instance, Dow offers the resin AGILITY CE, which incorporates 70% post-consumer recycled plastic. This innovative solution marks a major milestone in Dow's plastics circularity portfolio, as it is the first PCR-based product to integrate such a high percentage of recycled material. By transforming waste plastic into high-quality resin, Dow aims to support the transition toward a more sustainable and circular economy in the plastics industry.
