We’ll be with you every step of the way, to help you through the hurdles of developing your desired recyclable plastic bags for your product come to life.
We divide our recyclable bags into two main categories based on their recycling type. Because of the way that standard plastic is non-biodegradable, it is important that as packaging as possible is recycled. It is fundamental to the global efforts to reducing plastic and solid waste in the environment.

5006 Recycle-Ready: “Code 5” cross laminate material with a PP base, it provides higher barrier than our code 4 material and has slightly higher strength. It is available as all matte or all gloss.
