LLDPE scrap is used in recycled plastic production.
LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene) scrap, including industrial stretch wrap, agricultural film, and manufacturing offcuts, is a highly recyclable thermoplastic valued for its flexibility and strength. It is commonly traded as post-industrial or post-consumer material, often recycled into new films, bags, and plastic lumber, providing a sustainable alternative to virgin materials.
Key Aspects of LLDPE Scrap
Types: Primarily found as clear film scrap, stretch wrap, and roto-grade scrap, including, but not limited to, post-industrial (cleaner) and post-consumer (requires washing) sources.
Applications: Recycled LLDPE is used in trash bags, plastic furniture, agricultural film, and protective packaging.
Form: Available in bundles/bales, regrind (small pieces), or reprocessed granules.
Market: Global trade is active, with significant sourcing from manufacturing, logistics, and retail waste.
Quality: Often sold as “Clear,” “Mixed Color,” or “Mixed with LDPE”.
