What is the polyethylene?
The polyethylene is a plastic material obtained by the polymerization of ethylene (carbon + hydrogen > C2H4).
The polyethylene is defined by its grade
What is the polyethylene?The polyethylene is a plastic material obtained by the polymerization of ethylene (carbon + hydrogen > C2H4).
The polyethylene is defined by its grade (warm fluidity) and by its density (voluminal mass).
What are the different types of recycled polyethylene films?
Production waste = films regenerated when starting and adjusting production lines.
What are the different types of recycled polyethylene films?Production waste = films regenerated when starting and adjusting production lines.
Industrial waste = barely soiled after use films generated by industry and retail sectors (hoods, stretch films…)
Household waste = films from the selective collection of individuals
Agricultural waste = used agricultural films (greenhouse, silage, wrapping, mulching…).
What is “blown” extrusion?
The blown extrusion is a polyethylene processing process which consists of melting the material and confirming it in the bubble form through an annular die.

What is “cast” extrusion?
The cast extrusion is a polyethylene processing process which consists of melting the material and confirming it in the form of film through a flat die.

What is biodegradable film ?
A biodegradable film is a film adapted to degrade and to be assimilated by microorganisms. The products resulting from this degradation are almost exclusively water and carbon dioxide.

What is the polyethylene films regeneration?
Milled, washed and dried, the PE films are then extruded to form a hot, viscous paste which will pass through a grid.

With the help of some blades, we obtain a reusable material which is then used in our productions.
What is recycling?
Regenerated films are incorporated in different productions (in various quantities) depending on applications and technical and visual constraints.

A lot of 100 % recyclable products are manufactured in our factories.
What are the different grades of polyethylene (PE)?
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) = the oldest and the most frequently used of polyethylene. It is used in the shrink film manufacture.
What are the different grades of polyethylene (PE)?Low density polyethylene (LDPE) = the oldest and the most frequently used of polyethylene. It is used in the shrink film manufacture.
Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) = its mechanical properties are better than those of LDPE. It is non-shrinkable and it is used for the thin films manufacture.
Metallocene polyethylene (MPE) = it’s a last generation linear polyethylene with enhanced mechanical and optical characteristics.
High density polyethylene (HDPE) = easy to recognize due to its cloudy appearance and its
crunchy touch. It used for the high rigidity and tenacity thin film manufacture.
