It is therefore not biodegradable or compostable (read more about these topics on the page: <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kivo.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/what-are-bioplastics\/\">What are bioplastics<\/a>?).<\/u> LDPE is, however, excellently recyclable. In order to be able to recycle at high quality to A-class materials, it must meet a number of conditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The film must consist of one type of material, i.e. not laminated with other types of material such as aluminum.<\/li>\n<li>The film must not be too dirty.<\/li>\n<li>The foil must be separately collected or separated afterwards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Recycling of films can be stimulated by designing more products out of one material and by collecting clean streams separately on a larger scale.<\/p>\n<p>The recyclate can be mixed with virgin PE. Depending on the application and requirements, from about 25% to as much as 100%. When a product is shown to consist of 80% or more recyclate, it qualifies for the Blaue Engel label (read more about this label on the page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kivo.nl\/en\/blaue-engel-certificate\/\">What is the Blaue Engel label<\/a>?).<\/p>\n<p>KIVO produces films for various applications using recyclate. This can be used for non-food applications. Applications include: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kivo.nl\/en\/products\/pe-film-foil\/shrink-film\/\">shrink film<\/a>, cover film, cover sleeves,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kivo.nl\/en\/products\/bags-non-food\/garbage-bags\/\"> garbage bags<\/a>, films for potting soil, gravel, wood, straw, and stone bags, films for E-commerce bags, etc.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #ff0000;\">Do you have any questions about this article?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Please contact one of our experienced employees via the contact form below.
