Dow is offering polyethylene with recycled content.

Dow is introducing a low-density polyethylene resin that contains 70% recycled content. The resin can be blended with virgin polyethylene to create shrink films—the kind that hold cases of water bottles together—with up to 40% recycled content. Dow sources the recycled material from Avangard Innovative, which recycles polyethylene film in Houston.
