Recyclable stand-up pouches are doypacks that are designed so that they can return to the material loop after use – typically via kerbside collection or similar collection systems in the EU. The prerequisite for this is a mono-material construction: instead of the classic laminate film made of PET, aluminum and PE, the pouch consists of only one type of plastic (mono-PE or mono-PP) that can be sorted and reprocessed in standard recycling plants.

Conventional laminate doypacks have a weak point: in practice the multiple layers can no longer be separated from one another. Even if the end customer correctly throws them into kerbside collection, they usually end up in the residual waste fraction and are recovered thermally. Mono-material doypacks fix the problem at source: they are recognised in the recycling stream as pure PE or PP and find their way back to new granulate.

The trade-off: mono-material films have a slightly lower barrier effect than classic laminate films with aluminum. For many products this is unproblematic – dry goods, muesli, pasta, powders, pet food, natural foods. For extremely aroma-sensitive products (coffee, matcha) you have to weigh full recyclability against maximum aroma barrier. Our packaging specialists advise you individually on which mono-material variant suits your product profile.

• Dry foods: muesli, dried fruit, nuts, snacks, dried pasta
• Powder & granulate products: food supplements, protein powder, baking mixes
• Pet food & treats: dog and cat food in end-customer convenience sizes
• Cosmetic refills: bath salts, care masks, powder cleansers
• Organic brands: brands with an explicit circularity promise need recyclable packaging
• Refill packs: refill concepts where the packaging is later recycled

• Mono-PE construction: standard for food and cosmetics, soft feel, very widely recyclable
• Mono-PP construction: slightly higher temperature resistance, good for hot filling
• With or without a window: mono-material windows are technically possible (no PET layer)
• Zip closure: mono-material zips are available – important for reclosability
• Sizes: from the 100 g small pack to the 5 kg refill format
• Combination with PCR: mono-PE with recyclate content closes the loop twice over
• Printing: recycling logo (resin code) clearly visible for end-customer sorting

We have been importing packaging bags directly from the manufacturer since 1976. For recyclable mono-material doypacks this is especially important, because the quality differences between suppliers are large here: some films are sold as “recyclable” but fail at the real sorting plant due to too thin a construction or a poorly readable resin code. Our suppliers are certified by independent institutes (e.g. Interseroh, RecyClass), so that you can substantiate your marketing claims robustly.

Our packaging specialists know the pitfalls: which machine settings do mono-PE films need? How do you prevent waviness during heat sealing? Which printing inks are compatible with the recycling stream? We help you make the right decisions from the outset – instead of learning what really works after three runs and a complaint case.

Shipping is from our German warehouse. Standard goods are available in stock in a mono-PE construction; custom printing is scheduled in terms of time. No minimum order value. B2B customers benefit from graduated prices. Free samples are a matter of course – test the mono-material variant on your machine before you commit.
