Mono PE-Recyclable Packaging
A portfolio of recycle ready packaging solutions, offering customers a more sustainable choice with no compromise on performance.
Recycle Ready Solutions With No Compromise on Performance
PE-Recyclable packaging is a more sustainable packaging solution, designed to be recycled, if clean and dry, through existing store drop-offs or curbside where available. PE-Recyclable packaging solutions offer customers a more sustainable choice for their brands and products with no compromise on performance.
Currently available in a range of PE formats, PE-Recyclable packaging solutions employ a variety of technologies including proprietary techniques unavailable elsewhere. This delivers the stiffness, clarity, graphics performance and run speeds that customers demand, matching the performance of current non-recyclable alternatives.

Environmental Benefits
PE-Recyclable packaging is designed to be a more sustainable choice today, and is future-ready for more environmental benefits to come.
A proprietary tool certified by the Carbon Trust is used to compare the performance of one of the PE-Recyclable packaging recycle ready films, against a typically-used equivalent PET or OPP solution. See the following results below.
PE-Recyclable packaging could deliver
60% reduction
in non-renewable energy use
46% reduction
in carbon footprint
18% reduction
in water consumption
For every one million square meters of OPP displaced by PE-Recyclable packaging recycle ready films that equates to
Turning off 3290 CFL light bulbs for 1 year
Removing 45 cars from the road for a year
Not taking 1450
10 minute showers
Ref: comparative assessment using a proprietary tool comparing an PE-Recyclable packaging film vs the OPP incumbent, assuming 100% recycling.
These figures assume 100% recycling of the PE-Recyclable packaging film, but some of these savings, such as around half of the carbon footprint figure, come from the production of PE-Recyclable packaging itself.
This means that PE-Recyclable packaging is a more sustainable choice for all applications even before reaching end-of-life. This is good news particularly for those end markets for whom the clean and dry requirement is difficult to achieve. And of course switching to PE-Recyclable packaging today means you are future-ready for more environmental benefits tomorrow as the recycling industry develops.
More Sustainable With up to 50% Post-consumer Recycled Content
PE-Recyclable packaging solutions can include up to 50% PCR content and still be recycle ready – this is the circular economy in action, and R&D teams are working constantly to increase sustainability benefits.
