Recycling film packaging is an important step worldwide to reduce plastic waste and keep valuable raw materials in circulation. Everyone can contribute: carefully separate film packaging from other waste, remove food residues and dispose of it via the designated collection systems. Modern recycling plants transform clean material into new granulate, from which packaging, bags or technical films are made again. Every correctly disposed-of film means less waste in nature, less resource consumption and a cleaner future – everywhere in the world.

The rLDPE tubular film with recycled content 50 microns is the sustainable version of the film tube on a roll: polyethylene with recycled content from which you cut bags to size and seal them. At 50 microns thick, it combines flexible custom conversion with reduced virgin-plastic use — crystal clear and food-grade to EU standard.
What the rLDPE tubular film is used for
This film is aimed at anyone who wants to make their bag conversion more sustainable without giving up flexibility or transparency. You cut off exactly the length you need and seal it — the same processing as virgin material, just with recycled content. This makes your packaging visibly more environmentally friendly without changing your usual workflow at the sealing device.
- Food conversion — spices, dry products, powder portions
- Shipping and bundling — small parts and sets in a precise length
- sustainability-focused businesses — less virgin plastic at the same function
Recycled content and sustainability
rLDPE stands for polyethylene with recycled content. This lowers your virgin-material requirement and closes the plastic loop without losing recyclability: the film remains PE monomaterial and runs sorted-by-type in the PE stream. Despite the recycled content it is certified for food contact per EC 1935/2004 and EU 10/2011; the declaration of conformity is available on request.
Converting and choosing the right version
Processing is identical to the virgin-material film: the tube has no side seam, the circumference equals twice the flat width, and the roll runs on a 76 mm core. You cut to length and seal into a tight bag. If sustainability is your priority and your contents are light to medium-weight, this rLDPE version in 50 microns is right. If you need more puncture resistance for heavy or sharp-edged contents, reach for the LDPE version in 100 microns; if you want pure virgin material in standard thickness, the LDPE tubular film 50 microns is the matching sister version.

Frequently asked questions about the rLDPE tubular film with recycled content
What does rLDPE and recycled content mean?
rLDPE is polyethylene with recycled content. Instead of pure virgin material, part of the film consists of reprocessed material. This lowers virgin-plastic use and closes the plastic loop, while the film remains recyclable as PE monomaterial.
Does the recycled-content film process like virgin material?
Yes. You cut it off the roll the same way and seal the cut edges with a film sealing device. The recycled content changes nothing about conversion — the tube has no side seam and you get custom-made bags.
Is the film food-grade despite the recycled content?
Yes. The rLDPE tubular film is certified for food contact per EC 1935/2004 and EU 10/2011 and is therefore suitable for spices, dry products and powder portions. We provide the declaration of conformity (PIM) on request.
Is the recycled-content film less transparent?
No, it is crystal clear and gives a full view of the contents. Despite the recycled content the visibility is preserved, so the goods stay visible.
When do I choose rLDPE 50 microns instead of LDPE 100 microns?
When sustainability is the priority and the contents are light to medium-weight, the rLDPE film in 50 microns is the right choice. For heavy, sharp-edged or pointed contents with a high puncture risk, the LDPE version in 100 microns is better suited.
How do I calculate the bag circumference from the flat width?
The circumference is twice the flat width, and the diameter is (2 × flat width) divided by pi. This lets you plan which tube width suits your product diameter — it applies to the recycled-content film just as it does to virgin material.
How do I dispose of the rLDPE tubular film?
It belongs in the yellow recycling bag. As PE monomaterial it is NIR-detectable and fully recyclable in the German PE recycling stream — the recycled content already in it stays in the loop too, designed to be PPWR-compliant.
Is the film suitable for freezing?
Yes. Like all LDPE films it stays cold-resistant down to approx. -40 °C and is freezer-suitable, and heat-stable upward to about 70–80 °C. It is not designed for hot filling.
What core does the roll have and where do I see the widths?
The roll runs on a 76 mm core and fits common unwind stands. You will find the available flat widths and roll lengths with tiered prices in the order table above; we clarify special widths on request.
