Recyclable Mono-PE
Single-polymer structures that enter the #4 store drop-off stream whole. No multi-material delamination, no wishful recycling claims.
Verified Claims
- Single PE (or PP) polymer throughout — no delamination contamination in recycling stream
- Store drop-off #4: "Recyclable where facilities exist" — we print exactly that
- 100-200 um total, OTR <8 to <1500 cc/m2/day (PE vs PP)
- WVTR 12 down to <0.5 g/m2/day depending on structure
- Clear window option for product visibility
- Duplex (clear/white) and triplex (metallised) structures available
Limits
- -Not curb-side recyclable in most municipalities — store drop-off only
- -Mid barrier — protects for months, not a year on a supermarket shelf
- -We print "where facilities exist" because that is the truth
- -Not compostable — it would contaminate the compost stream
- -PP has much higher OTR than PE — choose PE for oxygen-sensitive products
