20 Feb 2023 --- Chevron Phillips Chemical (CPChem) and Charter Next Generation (CNG) are producing overwrap film made with CPChem’s Marlex Anew Circular Polyethylene for store shelves in the US. Overwrap films help preserve food, keep medical instruments secure and sterile and provide lightweight and durable product packaging. “Together with CNG, we are transforming waste plastics into useful products and demonstrating real-world, commercial-scale applications of circular plastics,” says Jay Bickett, CPChem’s vice president of polymers. “This collaboration is a great example of the new possibilities unlocked by advanced recycling.” CPChem leverages its established advanced recycling program to produce Marlex Anew Circular Polyethylene, certified through international sustainability and carbon certification (ISCC) Plus using the free attribution model.
