Emballator, a leading producer of packaging solutions, and Borealis, a supplier of innovative polyolefin solutions, are expanding their portfolio in close cooperation. Borealis has announced that it is supplying Emballator with bio-based polypropylene for pails and containers.
Specifically, the raw material is made from waste vegetable oil and used and recovered cooking oils. Bio-based material can be used in all products manufactured at Emballator Lagan. Furthermore, the packaging produced by Emballator is 100% recyclable, as PP creates a circular solution that further reduces the carbon footprint.
Richard Johansson, Sales and Marketing Director at Emballator Lagan says “For PE products it has been possible for many years to produce a product in bio-based material, but for PP, until now, it has only been possible to produce bio-based products from renewable resources with the ISCC PLUS certified mass balance principle. With this new grade, the product contains at least 30% bio-based polypropylene”.
Trevor Davis, Global Commercial Director of Consumer Products concludes, “At Borealis we continue to reinvent our portfolio of circular products for more sustainable living. This partnership with Emballator is a further step in our commitment to renewable/bio-based products that significantly reduce the carbon footprint of packaging” to which he adds that “with Borealis, as a partner, we significantly reduce our carbon footprint, while maintaining our current product quality standards”.
