B!POD, a business unit of SAES Getters<\/a>, has selected SABIC\u2019s ocean-bound plastic (OBP)-based polypropylene resin for their container manufacturing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The chosen material, SABIC PP 576P, is a high-gloss resin from the company\u2019s TRUCIRCLE portfolio, containing approximately 50% OBP feedstock.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The OBP feedstock for the resin is sourced from used plastic collected within 50km of shorelines, which is then converted into plastic feedstock through advanced recycling processes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Costruzioni Elettromeccaniche Legnaghesi, an Italian company in thermoplastic resin processing, receives the PP resin in its natural colour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company adds special masterbatches to create B!POD containers in various sizes and custom colours, which are fully recyclable within existing PP material streams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SABIC circular economy business global director Khaled Al-Jalawi said: \u201cWe are very pleased about working with SAES Getters to help consumers meet the challenge of improving food preservation with a powerful vacuum system that uses containers moulded in OBP-based SABIC PP.\u00a0<\/p>\n
