Procter & Gamble Co. will use recycled plastic material from
Eastman Chemical Co. in some of its products and packaging, the
companies said Monday.
Under the agreement, Procter & Gamble will adopt plastics
from Eastman's Renew brand in some of its packaging. The materials
are made using molecular recycling, enabling the reuse of plastics
that would otherwise go to landfill, according to the
companies.
Eastman and P&G also said they will collaborate to increase
collection of hard-to-recycle plastics, which Eastman will use to
create more recycled materials.
Eastman is planning to make Renew plastics at a new facility in
Kingsport, Tenn., that the company said will be complete next year
and will recycle more than 200 million pounds of plastics
annually.
