Moeve Wins BASF Award for Circular Economy Excellence
- Moeve's project uses 17.5% recycled polyethylene in packaging.
- The new system reduces polymer use by 18%.
- Moeve collaborates with DHL for this packaging innovation.
- The system is used for shipping linear alkylbenzene (LAB).
Project Overview
Moeve has been recognized for its Recycled Flexitank Project, which focuses on creating a sustainable packaging system for transporting chemical products. This initiative is part of Moeve's efforts to enhance sustainability in its operations.
Innovative Packaging
The project, developed in collaboration with DHL, introduces a packaging system that incorporates 17.5% recycled polyethylene. This material is sourced from waste generated during the production process, contributing to a reduction in environmental impact.
Efficiency Improvements
The new packaging system uses 18% less polymer compared to previous models. These improvements help reduce the carbon footprint associated with the transport of chemical products, aligning with circular economy principles.
Application in Chemical Transport
Moeve's Chemical Division has implemented this packaging system for maritime transport of linear alkylbenzene (LAB), a key ingredient in biodegradable detergents. This adoption supports a more sustainable supply chain and reduces the environmental impact of shipments.
