LDPE Waste
The recovery of waste Low Density Polyethylene polymer resins are typically classified into several common
grades
of LDPE for recycling material identification.
The recycling procedure involves three main stages of material processing, scrap, regrind and repro.
LDPE Scrap
The first stage of the recycling process is the segregation of LDPE scrap into uniform grades
and the removal of any foreign materials or contamination.
The scrap material may be bundled or baled to facilitate transportation or material handling.
LDPE Regrind
The second stage of the recycling process is reducing various sizes and shapes of LDPE scraps into a
uniform granule suitable for blending and as an extruder feedstock.
LDPE Repro
The next stage of the recycling process is reprocessing the regrind into a resin pellet or compound with
specific technical specifications, colour, fillers etc.
The LDPE Repro becomes a raw feedstock in the manufacturing process worldwide.
