INEOS Olefins & Polymers North Europe chief executive Rob Ingram said: “Together with Saica Natur we have the innovation, drive, know-how and capability to move towards a circular economy for plastics in flexible packaging.

“INEOS has the polymer science expertise to improve the quality, specification and performance of the finished product. We are very pleased to add these new flexible packaging products to our Recycl-IN range.”

Saica Natur director general Victor Sanz added: “With this agreement, we are moving towards a circular economy model through the use of resources in a more sustainable and efficient way. Waste is transformed into a secondary raw material that will be then incorporated into new high quality products.

“This is an example of commitment towards achieving a long-term sustainable growth.”
