Dow P&SP has partnered Syntegon Technology India (formerly known as Bosch Packaging Technology) to offer fully recyclable pillow pouch packaging in India.

Syntegon’s vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) packaging machines are capable of successfully handling INNATE TF Polyethylene Resins for Tenter Frame Biaxial Orientation (TF-BOPE) to produce fully recyclable pillow pouches.

The 1kg capacity all-polyethylene (PE) pillow pouch is designed with INNATE TF films and is made using Syntegon’s latest high-speed intermittent motion VFFS line, SVI 2600 and SVZ 1803AR. Both machines are equipped with PHS 2.0 sealing options and can produce 60 pouches per minute (p/min).

This initiative is aligned with Dow’s sustainability target to close the loop by enabling 100% of Dow products sold into packaging applications to be reusable or recyclable by 2035.
