Turning PE film into regranulate

PE film recycling: from film waste to regranulate

Used PE film is our starting material. At our site in Werdau, Saxony, Germany, we turn it into regranulate for plastics processing. LH-PLASTICS has an annual capacity of 12,000 tonnes.

The input material matters

Material type, sorting and contamination influence the resulting regranulate. Coordination therefore starts before delivery. If you would like to offer PE film waste, please provide details of its origin, composition, quantity and packaging. Our purchasing team will assess whether the material is suitable for processing.

Preparation and extrusion

The film waste is prepared for processing and melted in the extruder. The process needs to suit the input material. Used films vary in composition and condition, and these differences need to be taken into account during processing.

Filtration and homogenisation

The melt is filtered and processed into granules. The material is then homogenised in mixing silos. Alongside colour, the technical properties of each grade matter to the processor. Melt flow rate, density and residual moisture should therefore be compared using the product specification.

Assess the material for your application

A product name alone cannot establish whether an LDPE PCR regranulate will suit your formulation and equipment. Technical data and material trials provide the basis for selection. Approval for a particular application depends on your requirements and processing results.

LH-PLASTICS is RecyClass-certified. You can find information and contact details for current documentation on our certificates page.

Regranulate for your application

Our product overview presents six LDPE PCR grades with technical information and data sheets. Tell us your application, required colour, melt flow rate and quantity. We will review your enquiry with you.
