rLDPE ziplock bags with recyclate content without labeling strips 50 microns

The rLDPE ziplock bag with recycled content, 50 microns, without write-on panel is a zip bag made from LDPE with a proportion of recycled polyethylene. It reduces your use of virgin material but retains the ziplock closure, tear resistance and food suitability of the classic LDPE bag at a 50 micron wall thickness.

What the recycled-content bag is made for

This variant is intended for everyone who wants to improve their packaging footprint without giving up the familiar PE function. The recycled content reduces the need for virgin plastic. Typical uses:

• Food packing: spices, dry products, powder portions
• Small parts and spare parts, workshop components, electronic components
• general storage and shipping packaging with a sustainability requirement

Material, recycled content and recycling

The base remains LDPE: soft, tear-resistant and freezer-suitable down to about -40 °C. Due to the recycled content the film may appear minimally less crystal-clear than pure virgin LDPE. The bag is food-grade according to EC 1935/2004 and EU 10/2011 (PIM on request). As a PE monomaterial it is fully recyclable in the PE stream and PPWR-compliant from 2030 — the use of recycled content additionally supports the circular economy as the PPWR will require in future.

rLDPE vs. virgin LDPE vs. PLA

You choose the rLDPE bag if you want to use recycled content and ultimately recycle in the PE stream. If you need maximum crystal clarity, take the LDPE bag made from virgin material. If, on the other hand, industrial compostability is the goal, the bio-based PLA bag is the right route. The 50 micron thickness covers light to medium contents; for heavy or sharp-edged goods rLDPE is also available in 90 microns.

The circular economy in concrete terms

The recycled content is more than a label: every bag that consists partly of recycled polyethylene reduces the need for fossil-produced virgin plastic and keeps material already in circulation within the loop. This is exactly the direction that the EU packaging regulation PPWR drives with its recycled-content quotas and recyclability requirements from 2030. Because the bag remains sorted-type PE despite the recycled content, it is recyclable again at the end of its life via the recycling bin — so the loop closes twice over. In practice this means a packaging for you that you close, fill and freeze as usual, but that brings a measurably better environmental footprint than pure virgin material. A slightly reduced crystal clarity is a small, mostly uncritical compromise for this.
