It uses less material than its market reference while providing a similar technical cap performance.

The HDPE resin is capable of minimising the overall carbon footprint of its end applications on caps for beverage bottles or in cosmetic packs.

The resin has been designed for monomaterial polyethylene packaging solutions to further enhance recovery, sorting and recycling processes in the industry while contributing to a circular economy.

The company said that this resin is most suited for food-grade packaging and adheres to all the requirements of the caps and closures market.
