STORAGE AND HANDLING


Polyethylenes resins (in pelletised or powder form) should be stored in such a way that it prevents exposure to direct sunlight and/or heat, as this may lead
to quality deterioration. The storage location should also be dry, dust free and the ambient temperature should not exceed 50 °C. Not complying with
these precautionary measures can lead to a degradation of the product which can result in colour changes, bad smell and inadequate product
performance. It is also advisable to process polyethylene resins (in pelletised or powder form) within 6 months after delivery, this because also excessive
aging of polyethylene can lead to a deterioration in quality.

ENVIRONMENT AND RECYCLING


The environmental aspects of any packaging material do not only imply waste issues but have to be considered in relation with the use of natural
resources, the preservations of foodstuffs, etc. SABIC considers polyethylene to be an environmentally efficient packaging material. Its low specific energy
consumption and insignificant emissions to air and water designate polyethylene as the ecological alternative in comparison with the traditional
packaging materials. Recycling of packaging materials is supported by SABIC whenever ecological and social benefits are achieved and where a social
infrastructure for selective collecting and sorting of packaging is fostered. Whenever 'thermal' recycling of packaging (i.e. incineration with energy
recovery) is carried out, polyethylene -with its fairly simple molecular structure and low amount of additives- is considered to be a trouble-free fuel.
