SABIC enables Scientex to implement the world\u2019s first flexible food packaging made from SABIC certified circular polypropylene (PP) based on advanced OBP. With a mass balance accounted OBP content of 30%, the certified circular PP from SABIC performs the same way as the incumbent fossil based virgin grade PP.\n(Photo: Scientex)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SINGAPORE, MALAYSIA, December 21, 2022 - SABIC<\/a>, a global leader in the chemical industry, collaborates with Scientex in the packaging value chain to enable the manufacturer to develop material for the world\u2019s first flexible food packaging made based on advanced recycled OBP, using SABIC\u00ae<\/sup> certified circular polypropylene (PP). The material is being used in a premium brand noodles packaging sold in Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are proud to offer our customers circular solutions to reduce plastic waste that could otherwise end up in our rivers and oceans,\u201d says Abdullah Al Otaibi, General Manager, Engineering Thermoplastic & Market Solutions Business Unit for Petrochemicals at SABIC. \u201cThis flexible food packaging containing OBP connects with our TRUCIRCLE\u2122<\/sup> program of circular solutions designed to help protect our planet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBP is abandoned plastic waste found in areas up to 50 km inland from waterways that may eventually be washed into the ocean by rainfall, rivers or tides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks to this highly efficient collaboration with SABIC, we are able to bring the world\u2019s first advance recycled flexible PP food packaging to the Asian market, using circular OBP,\u201d states Paul Ng Kok Leong, Head of BOPP Film Division, Scientex Group. \u201cThis successful initiative demonstrates the feasibility of tackling the plastic waste issue through dedicated value chain collaborations and sets a milestone in shaping a circular plastics economy in Malaysia and across South East Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OBP used in the project is recovered and converted to pyrolysis oil in an advanced recycling process. SABIC uses this oil as an alternative feedstock to produce certified circular PP polymer for further processing to BOPP film. Scientex then manufactures and prints the noodle packs from this film. The entire chain from the management of the collected OBP to the final packaging is seamlessly accredited under established certification[1]<\/a> regimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a mass balance accounted OBP content of 30%, the certified circular PP from SABIC performs the same way as incumbent fossil-based virgin PP and could be used as a direct drop-in alternative in this flexible food packaging application, without the need to change its existing assets and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SABIC\u2019s certified circular polymers form part of the company\u2019s TRUCIRCLE portfolio and services<\/a> for circular solutions. The offering also includes design for recyclability, mechanically recycled products, certified renewable polymers from bio-based feedstock and closed loop initiatives to recycle plastic back into high quality applications and help prevent valuable used plastics from becoming waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
