Shell Polymers and ISOFlex, a division of Sigma Plastics Group, have entered a commercial collaboration that enables the use of ISCC PLUS certified circular polyethylene for food-grade flexible packaging. ISOFlex, a leading consumer products company, is using this certified circular material to produce packaging films, and the initiative plays a key role in its meeting internal sustainability targets. This collaboration reflects a growing industry shift toward high-performance circular solutions.
From its Monaca, Pennsylvania facility, Shell Polymers supplies ISOFlex with ISCC PLUS certified circular polyethylene, a virgin quality resin delivered with a certificate declaring that circular attributes followed a traceable chain of custody using a mass balance approach that is audited by third parties according to ISCC PLUS standards. This rigorous process enables converters like ISOFlex to produce high-quality film products while supporting the transition to a circular economy.
The announcement comes ahead of Pack Expo 2025, where Sigma and the ISOFlex division will showcase their film capabilities and discuss their progress in advancing sustainable packaging with customers and industry peers.
Shell Polymers’ Monaca plant in Pennsylvania is located in proximity to over 70% of the North American polyethylene market. Close to both supply and markets, the new facility provides regional plastic manufacturers with more flexibility, shorter supply chains, and enhanced supply dependability.
Shell Polymers has commenced a landmark feedstock agreement with Freepoint Eco-Systems, securing a steady supply of pyrolysis oil sourced from waste plastics at Freepoint’s cutting-edge recycling facility.
