AlwaysFree: INEOS, LACTEL Partner To Produce World’s First Milk Bottles From Circular HDPE

INEOS and LACTEL last week announced a partnership on advanced recycling packaging for dairy products. Advanced recycling turned post-consumer plastics into their basic molecules, which are then used by INEOS to replace fossil-based raw materials at its production sites. At the trial stage, the two companies produced 140,000 milk bottles based on circular HDPE produced from post-consumer recycled material. The production was performed at LACTEL’s Montauban plant in southern France and was successfully RSB* certified in April 2021. The produced milk bottles are fully recyclable and compliant with food safety regulations.
