Sell Your Scrap LDPE Film & Plastic
Transform your waste Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), particularly the significant volumes of packaging film generated by many businesses, into a valuable income stream. Greenview specialises in purchasing scrap LDPE from UK companies, offering excellent rebates and reliable nationwide collection services that support your sustainability goals.
Understanding Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
LDPE is a thermoplastic widely appreciated for its unique combination of flexibility, toughness, transparency, and moisture resistance. This makes it the dominant material for plastic film applications worldwide. You encounter it daily as pallet wrap, shrink wrap, carrier bags, bin liners, food packaging bags, protective sheeting for furniture or construction, and even in some agricultural films. Its prevalence in packaging and logistics means that distribution centres, retailers, and manufacturers often generate substantial quantities of recyclable LDPE scrap.
What Forms of LDPE Scrap Do We Purchase?
Greenview focuses on purchasing clean, well-segregated post-industrial and post-commercial LDPE scrap, with a strong emphasis on film grades:
- LDPE Film (Natural/Clear Preferred): This is the most sought-after grade. Includes baled pallet wrap, shrink wrap, collation film, furniture bags, mattress bags, etc. High-quality grades like 98/2 or 95/5 (indicating low contamination) command the best prices. Secure, dense mill-size bales are ideal.
- LDPE Production Scrap: Includes clean edge trims, start-up waste (dollies), and non-conforming film reels directly from film extrusion or packaging conversion processes.
- Jazz LDPE Film: Bales consisting of mixed-colour LDPE film. While recyclable, this grade typically has a lower market value than clean natural/clear film.
- Agricultural Film (Specific Grades): Certain types of clean horticultural films or silage wrap may be suitable, but often require specific processing (like washing) and agreement.
- Key Quality Factor: Cleanliness is paramount for LDPE film value. Excessive dirt, moisture, heavy printing, sticky labels, or contamination from other materials (especially PET bottles, food waste, or PVC) significantly reduces its recyclability and market value.
