Low Density Polyethylene Recycling

Turn Your Waste into Revenue

LDPE recycling is an important part of reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable business practices. Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a flexible, soft, and durable thermoplastic widely used across industries. It is most commonly found as plastic film, but also in packaging, protective materials, and other everyday applications.

At GK Recycling, we collect and recycle baled LDPE film from businesses across the country. Whether you are a warehouse, manufacturer, or distributor, we provide efficient collection and recycling services for your LDPE materials.

Baled plastic film – clear or coloured
LDPE bubble wrap
LDPE film rolls and reels
Redundant LDPE stock – mailbags, aprons, and other surplus items

Our LDPE recycling process transforms waste materials into high-quality, reusable plastics, helping businesses reduce environmental impact and support a more circular economy.
