Borealis is rolling out Borcycle M CWT120CL, a high-performance, recycled linear-low-density polyethylene grade (rLLDPE) designed to advance circularity in non-food flexible packaging. Produced with 85% post-consumer recyclate (PCR) and 15% LLDPE booster, the company said it is intended for high-end applications where sustainability and circularity matter.
The rLLDPE is a flexible packaging grade based on Borcycle M, Borealis' mechanical recycling technology that delivers high-quality materials in an energy-efficient way. The company said creating an LLDPE grade with 85% post-consumer recyclate content is a significant technical achievement, marking another milestone in its EverMinds ambition to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
"With its impressive 85% post-consumer recyclate content, this new rLLDPE grade represents a major step on the path to a circular economy for plastics," said Peter Voortmans, the company's commercial director of Consumer Products Flexibles. "Borcycle M CWT120CL will help our customers meet their sustainability targets while maintaining the high performance standards required for demanding flexible packaging applications — ust one of the ways we're re-inventing essentials for sustainable living."
