dc.description.abstractThe goal of this project is to contribute to P&G’s Ambition 2030 goals of incorporating more recycled content into packaging applications. We helped achieve this by developing a portfolio of polymer characterization and testing methods to create a resin fingerprint for post-consumer recycled (PCR) film grade polyethylene. The developed test methods were then organized into our first deliverable: a flow chart or “decision tree” that would allow future users to follow our protocols for resin analysis. The data from our technical testing methods was then used to create a heat map, our second deliverable, for determining what PCR could be used in P&G and Glad JV applications. Our final deliverable was to compile all this data obtained from our analytical methods into a comprehensive technical data sheet for all the analyzed resins.
