It's how Dow turns vision into measurable progress, advancing both our partners' goals and the circular economy.' Dow advances packaging circularity with its INNATE TF 220 Resin, enabling high-performance, recyclable BOPE films. In partnership with Liby, Dow integrated 10 per cent post-consumer recycled resin into detergent packaging. The resin offers superior processing, durability, and design-for-recyclability, helping brands meet performance needs and sustainability goals. Collaboration with Liby for Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Adoption with Scale In collaboration with leading laundry detergent brand Liby, Dow facilitated the integration of 10% REVOLOOP Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Resin into the packaging of its new generation 'Floral Era' detergent series, aiming to reduce carbon emissions while preserving pack durability. This project demonstrates how Dow's circularity approach can be adapted to practical, high-volume uses without compromising product performance or consumer experience. Zhang Liping, the general manager of Liby Research and Development Center , stated, 'As a leading laundry brand in China, Liby is committed to reconsidering plastic packaging and ensuring its circularity. Our strategic partnership with Dow has led to innovations such as China's first fully recyclable laundry packaging with Dow's INNATE TF-BOPE and the new generation 'Floral Era' detergent series using Dow's post-consumer recycled resins. This long-term collaboration enhances the sustainable value of our products and shows our commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation.' INNATE TF 220 Precision Packaging Resin from Dow, a Groundbreaking Innovation in Design for Recyclability With lower global curbside recycling rates for flexible packaging, the industry faces a need in balancing high-performance requirements with circular design. Featuring a distinct molecular architecture, INNATE TF 220 Resin achieves breakthrough processing efficiency. Key benefits include exceptional extrusion stability and biaxial stretching processability, significantly reducing manufacturing waste. It also enhances end-use performance with improved stiffness, heat resistance to meet stringent downstream requirements such as printing, lamination bag making, while helping enable attractive optical appearance and excellent abusing resistance for mono-material structures. The upgraded performance of TF-BOPE films has already shown its versatility in a variety of real-world circular packaging adoption across priority applications including Food & Beverage packaging, Home & Personal Care packaging, etc., empowering brands to maintain functionality and brand aesthetics while advancing sustainability. The resin's design-for-recyclability ethos has galvanized collaborations across the packaging value chain. Converters and brand owners are leveraging TF-BOPE films to address regional recycling regulations (e.g., China's 'Double Carbon' goals) while future-proofing their portfolios. Shaping the Future of Packaging Together From high-performance packaging with INNATE TF 220 resin to recyclable mono-material designs, Dow pioneers closed-loop solutions for the circular economy, meanwhile continuing to accelerate the industry's transition to a circular economy. Dow is committed to collaborating with key stakeholders across the value chain to promote innovative and sustainable packaging solutions. Through investments in circular materials, enhanced recycling technologies, and design for recyclability, Dow continues to drive the development of a materials ecosystem and transform the plastics industry by helping enable a greater design for recyclability, reuse, and resource efficiency.

TSX futures bounced back on Wednesday morning, though only tentatively, mulling tensions in the Middle East while holding out hope for a U.S.-Canada trade deal within 30 days, a consensus hold on interest rates from the U.S. federal reserve expected later today, and their potentially positive effects on global markets.
