Introduction to LDPE Plastic Recycling
LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) recycling converts post-consumer and post-industrial LDPE waste—such as carry bags, liners, stretch and shrink films—into reusable granules. At Mohit Polyfab Industries, we promote circular materials by enabling high-quality recycled LDPE (rLDPE) that reduces landfill load, conserves resources, and lowers the total cost of packaging and protective products.
Working Principle and Process Flow of LDPE Recycling
LDPE recycling follows a controlled workflow: collection & segregation → sorting by grade/colour → washing & drying to remove inks, dust and organics → shredding/size reduction → melt filtration & extrusion → pelletizing into consistent rLDPE granules. Robust quality checks ensure stable melt flow, moisture control and minimal contamination—ideal for film, liners and tarpaulin applications. Explore options on the official website.
Types of LDPE Recycling Streams
- Post-Consumer LDPE Film – retail bags, household liners, agricultural mulch films.
- Post-Industrial LDPE Scrap – production trims, edge cuttings, clean film offcuts.
- Colour-Sorted LDPE – natural/transparent, mixed colour, and black streams.
- Food-Contact Compliant rLDPE – produced under stricter hygiene & traceability (subject to applicable regulations).
- High-Clarity Film Grade rLDPE – optimized for blown/cast film lines with controlled MFI.
Key Features and Specifications of Recycled LDPE
- Consistent Melt Flow Index (MFI) ranges to match film, sheet or molding requirements.
- Moisture-controlled pellets for better extrusion stability and surface finish.
- Filtered melt with fine screens to reduce gels, specks and impurities.
- Available in natural, translucent and tinted colours; custom blends on request.
- Cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to virgin LDPE, lowering carbon footprint.
Applications of Recycled LDPE (rLDPE)
- Garbage bags, carry bags and bin liners made from rLDPE help cities and facilities reduce costs while maintaining durability and flexibility.
- Agricultural films, nursery bags and silage covers benefit from rLDPE’s toughness and weather resistance for seasonal protection.
- Shrink and stretch wraps for secondary packaging use rLDPE blends to balance strength, puncture resistance and gloss.
- Construction sheets, vapour barriers and protective floor covers leverage rLDPE for moisture control and site cleanliness.
Benefits of LDPE Plastic Recycling
- Diverts large volumes of flexible plastic from landfills, supporting sustainability targets and extended producer responsibility (EPR) compliance.
- Reduces reliance on virgin resin, improving cost stability and lowering lifecycle emissions for packaging and industrial films.
- Creates a reliable supply of circular materials for brands seeking eco-labels and greener product portfolios.
- Encourages better waste segregation and collection ecosystems across municipalities and industries.

Best Practices for Collection, Storage & Safety
- Segregate LDPE film at source; avoid mixing with PET, PVC, paper or metal contaminants.
- Keep collected film clean and dry; store bales off the ground and under cover to limit moisture.
- Remove labels, tapes and hard inserts where possible to improve recyclate purity.
- Use transparent sacks for clean streams; mark colour codes for easy sorting.
- Follow safe handling near shredders/extruders; use gloves, masks and eye protection as required.
