The humble garbage bag may be an ideal candidate to spur more sustainable plastic film recycling end markets, experts said at a plastic recycling webinar hosted by the Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) on Tuesday.
Recyclers and plastics producers on the panel discussed the barriers and opportunities with recycling polyethylene (PE) film plastic, the kind used to make plastic grocery store bags, wrap for pallets and even bubble wrap. During the wide-ranging discussion, speakers noted it s a valuable feedstock ideal for making many types of new products, including trash bags.
Industry leaders are looking for more long-term end markets for post-consumer resin (PCR) made from PE film, and they see trash bags as one major avenue for using recycled content.
