Pactiv Evergreen Inc. and ExxonMobil are teaming up to provide certified-circular packaging solutions to major food brands and foodservice providers. Pactiv Evergreen will soon offer its customers certified-circular polypropylene (PP) packaging products leveraging ExxonMobil?s Exxtend? technology for advanced recycling.

These innovative products will meet all regulatory requirements and specifications for food contact applications. 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. ISCC PLUS is an internationally recognized, third-party certification process for circular content, which offers full traceability along the supply chain.
