In response to evolving regulations like the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), ExxonMobil Signature Polymers collaborated with Hosokawa Alpine – a leading provider of advanced barrier film extrusion solutions – and IMA Ilapak – a global specialist in horizontal form, fill & seal (HFFS) packaging machinery – to develop a mono-material polyethylene (PE) pouch for cheese packaging designed for recyclability.
This innovative solution replaces conventional multi-material rigid trays and lid films, offering a thinner, recyclable alternative that maintains shelf-life and runs efficiently on HFFS lines, a press release stated.
Using Alpine’s advanced 9-layer barrier blown film line with inline machine direction orientation (MDO) technology, ExxonMobil Signature Polymers resins were used to produce both the MDO PE barrier substrate and the PE sealant film. Alpine’s die head geometry and MDO capabilities enabled the creation of an ultra-thin 2-micron EVOH barrier layer using EVAL™ LT172B, delivering strong oxygen barrier performance.
ExxonMobil, one of the largest publicly traded international energy companies, uses technology and innovation to help meet the world’s growing energy needs. The company recently launched its new ExxonMobil Signature Polymers portfolio brand, which focuses on delivering best-in-class service and partnerships within the polymers industry. ExxonMobil Signature Polymers unifies ExxonMobil’s polyolefin products under a single brand, simplifying portfolio navigation and promoting enhanced collaboration across the value chain.
