Materials

PE – Polyethylene

Mono-material PE films represent the largest volume of recyclable plastic films (shrink films for beverages, bundling films for toilet paper, stretch films, zip-lock bags for freezing, Minigrip bags…). Featuring good chemical resistance, excellent weldability, and very good cold resistance, PE can generally be used between -40°C and 80°C without significant loss of mechanical properties. Our material is ideal for food contact; it becomes a gas barrier when combined with EVOH.

PE (polyethylene) films are recyclable in France with a suitable recycling stream.

PE PCR – Post-Consumer Recycled

These plastic pellets are made from recycled waste after product consumption by the end-user. Industrial or commercial PCR, for example from logistics waste (pallet films…), is of better quality than household PCR from yellow bins. PCR contributes to a sustainable development approach: it helps reduce the carbon footprint (compared to incineration), decrease packaging presence in the environment, and preserve natural resources. Not suitable for food contact, the PCR bag range is ideal for the industrial, textile, or retail sectors.

Packaging made from PCR recycled plastic benefits from a Citeo bonus when placed on the market.
PE PCR is recycled and recyclable.

BIO-BASED PE – Sugarcane

We use PE pellets derived from sugarcane for the manufacture of our bio-based Minigrip® bags. This material comes from a renewable resource and promotes sustainable development. Bio-based LDPE reduces the use of fossil resources such as petroleum and also reduces the carbon footprint (the carbon in bio-based LDPE comes from atmospheric CO₂).

Suitable for food contact, our bio-based Minigrip bag is identical to its big brother, the Original Minigrip®. Bio-based PE is recyclable.

PE – Regenerated Polyethylene

We use regenerated plastic pellets from our production waste. We re-granulate our waste in-house using two machines. 95% of our waste is revalued to give it a second life.

We also have a range of Minigrip® bags dedicated to one of our partners and a regenerated PE film allowing the manufacture of various bags (self-adhesive strips).
Regenerated PE films are recyclable and not suitable for food contact.

EVOH

EVOH is a polymer used in the manufacture of packaging requiring better product protection and preservation. It has gas and aroma barrier properties. Complex films based on EVOH are mainly used for food.
We offer a standard range of recyclable plastic or paper Doypack® bags.

PP – Polypropylene

Polypropylene is a plastic commonly used in the manufacture of bags for the textile industry and savory or sweet confectionery. PP is a very shiny transparent plastic. Its good heat resistance allows for applications in autoclave sterilization.
Household PP packaging does not yet have a recycling stream in France. Our PP films are suitable for food contact.
