reused, recovered or recycled. ExxonMobil plastic products also contribute to safety within the food industry. Plastic pack- aging is lightweight, durable and flexible, which makes it ideal for preserving food. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, one-third of the food produced in the world goes to waste each year. Plastic pack- aging can help reduce spoilage, increase access to food and improve food safety for consumers around the world.
that are used by automotive manufacturers to reduce vehicle weight and deliver greater efficiency for drivers. We have also developed advanced tire technologies that help maintain optimal tire pressure, improve rolling resistance and aid fuel efficiency, as around 25 percent of vehicle tires in the United States are underinflated. By addressing this issue, drivers could collectively save up to 1 billion gallons of gasoline per year. Additionally, our next-generation plastic packaging reduces total product weight and allows more products per shipment, fewer trucks on the road, less gasoline and energy used, fewer greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately less material to be
and lowers maintenance costs while reducing potential risks from worker and machine interactions. There are also specific application advantages for these products, including in wind turbine applications where machinery is several hundreds of feet in the air and exposed to weather. Mobil lubricants are used in more than 40,000 wind turbines worldwide. Innovative chemical materials Materials developed by ExxonMobil provide manufacturers with quantifiable benefits in a multitude of consumer appli- cations. These materials include resilient, lightweight plastics
