Increased Use of Recycled Polymers

There will be many opportunities for visitors to discover ExxonMobil’s product portfolio – Exceed XP, Exceed™, Enable™ and Vistamaxx performance polymers and Oppera™ polymer modifiers. These products are used to add value in a range of sectors including flexible packaging, agricultural films, hygiene products, and industrial applications, as well as solutions that promote increased use of recycled polymers.

The use of Vistamaxx to compatibilize waste PE and PP can be a game changer when recycling plastics as it reduces the need for costly and time-consuming materials separation.

It can increase the amount of recycled plastic used, while enhancing end-product performance.
