Recyclable LDPE

LDPE and LLDPE plastic bags, sheeting, and tubing are among the most commonly and easily recycled products. Once recycled, they can be transformed into a wide range of items, including agricultural/construction films, pallet covers, and trash bags.
Recycling these products is vital for their respective industries, as it helps prevent the negative impact of landfill disposal or loose waste. Once a bag has been recycled, it can no longer be used for food use “virgin”.
The recyclability of these products can be affected if they have been contaminated by food, chemicals, or similar substances. Fortunately, such contaminated items make up a relatively small percentage of the total volume of these products in the marketplace. To help promote recycling, you can establish a separate collection system for these products, ensuring they are kept separate from your regular waste. Companies can also take action by training their staff to recognize LDPE and LLDPE materials and designating specific disposal areas, typically integrated with other recycling initiatives within their premises, such as in plants, warehouses, or offices. While our individual impact may seem modest, collectively, we recycle millions of pounds of these materials every year, transforming them into functional and high-quality products.
