Many customers ask whether plastic bags of raw materials are recyclable ? What does recyclable plastic bag mean?

1.Native Material Plastic Bag

Raw materials are extracted from petroleum. It is characterized by: the particles are milky white, crystal transparent, without any impurities. Good physical characteristics, easy to process. Raw materials cannot apply for GRS certification and EN15343:2008 certification. From the point of view of resource utilization efficiency and environmental protection, the use of raw materials will waste resources and cause adverse effects on the environment. Continuing to increase the stock of plastic on Earth is not conducive to the low-carbon trend.

2.Recyclable Plastic Bag

In the internationally recognized global recycling standard GRS certification, EN15343:2008 certification clearly states: Only materials with [pre-consumer recycled polybag (PIR)] and [post-consumer recycled polybag (PCR)]are considered recycled materials. More than 20% recycled material content can apply for certification. More than 50% recycled materials can apply for printing certification LOGO labels. Customer requirements of 30% recycled, 50% recycled, 100% recycled refers to the proportion of recycled materials in the product or packaging by quality.

Post-Consumer Recycled Polybag (PCR) is produced by households or commercial, industrial and institutional facilities as end-product users.After recycling, sorting, cleaning, granulation, film blowing, printing, bag making and other processes, continue to produce plastic materials, plastic bags. To achieve recycling and reuse. Effectively reduce the extraction of new plastic particles from petroleum. On the basis of meeting human needs for packaging, the reuse of existing plastic materials. Continuous use, continuous recycling, the cycle does not increase the Earth's existing plastic stock. Reduce the energy consumption and pollution of the production of plastic particles, reduce the waste of resources and pollution of the incineration of plastic bags.

Post-Consumer Recycled Polybag (PCR)

Pre-Consumer Recycled Polybag (PIR) is a material that is transferred from the waste stream during the manufacturing process. Eliminate the reuse of certain materials, such as rework and re-grinding. Residual materials produced during processing and reused during the same processing. Plastic bags that have not been used by consumers for recycling.

Pre-Consumer Recycled Polybag (PIR)

Therefore, to meet customer requirements and practice environmentally friendly recyclable plastic bags refers to certified plastic bags containing recycled materials, not plastic bags produced by raw materials.

GRS and EN15343:2008 recyclable plastic bags of Goolien Packaging are plastic bags that meet customer requirements, meet internationally recognized environmental standards, and are truly recyclable and recycled. It is an important product of environmental protection packaging bag.
