INEOS launches hybrid polymer with 70% recycled content
New Recycl-IN grade aims to boost sustainability in cosmetics and rigid packaging without sacrificing quality.
What's New
INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe has revealed a Recycl-IN hybrid polymer grade containing 70% recycled material, designed for use in packaging components like caps, jars and closures while maintaining performance comparable to virgin polymers.
Why this matters
High-recycled-content polymers are a major step toward circular packaging, especially in sectors like beauty and personal care, where recycled materials often struggle to meet aesthetic or technical requirements. This grade could reduce packaging carbon footprints and help brands meet recyclate content targets while maintaining product integrity.
Who should care
Brand owners & packaging engineers → easier compliance with sustainability targets without performance trade-offs
Converters & materials suppliers → demand for recycled resin grades is rising with regulatory pressure
Sustainability and compliance teams → accelerated adoption of PCR materials across product portfolios
