Key Highlights:

• In June 2024, Dow introduced new Revoloop recycled plastic resins. The two new resins have received approval for nonfood contact packaging application, one has 100% PCR content, and the other has 85% PCR.
• In June 2024, Arkema has introduced as much as 40% recycled content in its powder coating resins. Powder coating resins is a solvent-free, low-waste technology and can now be made even more circular due to the incorporation of recycled content. Arkema’s new development for recycled based powder coating resin utilizes post-consumer Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) captured from end-of-life packaging as an alternative to customary fossil based raw materials.
