Recupac and Lindner boost LDPE recycling capacity in Chile - Packaging Insights

Recupac, a Chilean plastics recycler, has significantly expanded its capacity for processing Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) by partnering with Lindner, a manufacturer of recycling machinery. This collaboration introduces advanced shredding and washing technology, enabling Recupac to handle a larger volume of post-consumer and post-industrial LDPE waste. The upgrade is a direct response to the growing demand for recycled content in packaging, driven by both regulatory pressures and consumer preferences for more sustainable solutions. This development is crucial for FMCG and pharmaceutical companies looking to incorporate higher percentages of recycled LDPE into their packaging films, as it promises a more stable and accessible supply of this material.

采购视角

As recycled LDPE becomes more readily available due to such capacity increases, procurement managers can anticipate more consistent supply and potentially more competitive pricing for sustainable packaging film options, influencing their machinery choices for film handling and sealing.
