ExxonMobil sends out first shipment of certified circular plastic

ExxonMobil recently made its first shipment of certified circular plastic from Baytown, Texas, where in 2021 it processed almost 4 million pounds of plastic waste that would’ve otherwise likely ended up in a landfill.

“That’s the equivalent of recycling 360 million grocery bags,” it said.

The shipment was delivered to Berry Global, a world-leader in innovative packaging and engineered products that is headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, a hub of American manufacturing. There, the certified circular plastics will become food grade containers.

“All of this was made possible by ExxtendTM technology, which enables our high-performance plastics to go circular while meeting the stringent health and safety requirements of critical food contact and medical applications,” ExxonMobil said. “With ExxtendTM, we can help create a more circular world.”

It added, “This is why we have plans to build around 1 billion pounds of annual advanced recycling capacity by year-end 2026, a pivotal part of our commitment to help society reduce the wasteful littering, landfilling, and incineration of plastic waste”.
