SYNDIGO™ Recycled Polyethylene
The Shape of Things to Come
Reshaping plastics to be our customers’ first and best choice
NOVA Chemicals’ SYNDIGOTM recycled polyethylene (rPE) product portfolio enables converters and brand owners to deliver leading solutions in sustainable packaging that include recycled content to meet the increasing demands of consumers and regulations. All SYNDIGO resins are third party certified to be 100% post-consumer resin, and all are mechanically recycled.
SYNDIGO resins are setting a new industry standard for post-consumer recycled content (PCR) – our focus on quality and consistency, at scale, enables use of SYNDIGO rPE in a broad variety of markets. Our portfolio includes recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) and recycled linear low-density polyethylene (rLLDPE) resins that are suitable for food-contact applications, allowing you to choose the material you need.
We believe that mechanically-recycled PE will facilitate the transition to a plastic’s circular economy, where used plastics that were once considered to be waste can now be reused as a resource.
Mechanical recycling is proven technology that is here today, available at scale, and is continually improving. In bringing our polyethylene expertise to PCR manufacturing, NOVA Chemicals plays a pivotal role in advancing circularity by:
- Providing a high-quality, mechanically recycled product that delivers a sustainable solution for converters and brand owners to incorporate rPE into plastic packaging and products.
- Reducing overall plastic waste by keeping it out of landfills.
- Offering a broad portfolio of resins designed for food and non-food contact applications.
- Enabling use at meaningful levels in a variety of flexible and rigid applications – from food packaging to protective packaging to blow molded bottles.
