Very few people know that Total is behind the production of everyday items like bottles, plastic films and caps.

And even fewer are aware that these cutting-edge products owe their properties - such as lightness, thinness and resistance - to Total's high-performance polymers, which took years of R&D to perfect. Let's take a look at Supertough, a polymer resin used to make plastic film that's just as strong as existing products but 25% thinner, and Excell Cap, a compound that allows manufacturers to produce caps with significantly less raw material.
