Plastic can be reused several times

Plastic can be reused and processed several times. Many years and man-hours have been spent minimizing the amount of plastic waste generated during the manufacturing process. Most waste occurs during extrusion, when adjusting the width of the film, replacing the raw material or changing its color. GP World recycles almost 100% of its waste.

Focus on correct use and recycling

After end use, our film should preferably be recycled. Our film is made of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and must be recycled in the LDPE recycling stream. Please consult your local recycling organization for more detailed information. Recycle packaging materials from our films, such as reels, pallets and protective film, in the appropriate waste streams. Plastic is a valuable raw material after end use and most plastics can be recycled for the production of new raw materials or energy. Remember to recycle your plastic waste.

Design for recycling

High performance is a key criterion for product design. Today's challenge is to integrate recyclability and performance requirements such as product safety, longevity, marketing and brand building. It is crucial to balance the performance requirements of a plastic film with its recyclability.
