Exxonmobil’s Exxtend technology can help widen the range of plastic materials that can be recycled and provides performance and quality identical to virgin plastics. Through Exxtend technology, plastic waste is broken down into its molecular building blocks and attributed to many valuable new products, including PP, through a mass balance approach. Through the collaboration, Pactiv Evergreen will convert Exxonmobil’s PP into packaging, which is International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) Plus certified-circular.

“We are excited to work with Pactiv Evergreen and others in the value chain to help create new opportunities to support the circular economy for plastics,” said Olivier Lorge, Global Marketing Manager, Polypropylene, Vistamaxx, and Exact, Exxonmobil. “In the foodservice industry, we see tremendous opportunity to help address consumer demand for more circular products, without sacrificing performance or safety for PP products in food-contact applications.”
