ExxonMobil Signature Polymers and the Selene Group have developed robust sacks containing 50 per cent recycled polyethylene (PE). The aim: to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the strength and performance required for industrial applications.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The development of the new bags, known as Selene NextBag, is based on a combination of ExxonMobil's Exceed Tough+ m 1019 and Exxtra Seal m 1012 resins and Selene's Premium Recycle Polymer. This combination of materials compensates for the physical property losses typically associated with recycled content. The result is a product that not only retains its original thickness and mechanical performance, but also has improved drop and tear resistance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The new bags offer several advantages. Despite the high proportion of recycled material, the integrity of the packaging is maintained. Tests have shown that the bags perform better compared to conventional PE film formulations, particularly in terms of drop tests where they demonstrate superior durability and handling. These properties make them ideal for use in demanding industrial applications.<\/p>

Contribution to the circular economy<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The integration of 50 per cent recycled polyethylene in the new bags underlines the commitment of ExxonMobil and the Selene Group to a more sustainable packaging industry. By reusing polymer bags from logistics processes and converting them into high-quality recycled polymer, the material cycle is closed and dependence on new raw materials is reduced.<\/p>\r\n
