Dow recently developed the pe standup pouch made from only one raw material, polyethylene. This single material pouch offers the convenience and performance of multimaterial pouches with the added benefit of being recyclable where pe bag and film recovery currently exists. The pe standup pouch creates a unique, glossy, and aesthetically pleasing package that can showcase frozen foods, dry goods, and more. Made for frozen and dried foods, this packaging is more sustainable and suitable to be recycled .
When compared to other packaging options, pe standup pouches are often lighter in weight and that can lead to decreased energy use in manufacturing, transportation, and refrigeration.
