YPAREX B.V. FIRST TO MARKET WITH BIO-BASED TIE LAYER FOR GREENER MULTILAYER PACKAGING
ENSCHEDE, THE NETHERLANDS — August 27, 2012 — Yparex B.V., headquartered here, today announced that it is the first supplier in the packaging industry to develop and commercialize an adhesive tie layer for multilayer packaging films that is bio-based (i.e. produced from plant- rather than petroleum-based raw materials). Since this tie-layer resin is derived from 95% annually renewable resources and is fully recyclable, yet meets the same performance specifications as non-renewable petroleum-based polymer of the same family, it offers packaging manufacturers the opportunity to make their products more sustainable because plant precursors sequestered greenhouse gases during their life cycle. However, it also helps protect the packaging industry’s supply chain from price spikes of materials closely tied to the cost of oil and natural gas.

La division commerciale Innovative Plastics de SABIC a annoncé aujourd'hui que le constructeur automobile indien Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), avec l'appui de son fournisseur de premier rang Plastic Omnium, a développé les premières ailes en plastique moulées par injection fabriquées en Inde dont est équipé le nouveau véhicule utilitaire sport mondial XUV500 salué par la critique.
