Post-Consumer waste directly refers to polythene that has served its intended original purpose as a consumer item, is then sent to environmental recovery sites, recycled and reused.
When the waste polythene has been collected/recovered it is washed, shredded and re pelletised into a polymer.
In technical terms, this recycled polymer is then used as the middle layer of a co-extruded film. This doesn't impact on performance or functionality of the finished product and offers mechanically the same properties of more conventional mono layered virgin films.
Even after this process, the product is 100% recyclable.
