Lamination to HDPE or LDPE film creates a FULLY RECYCLABLE single film structure laminated pouch bag:
- Allows for RIC 2 designation regarding the recycle waste stream
- Can have “recyclable” printed on the packaging, as well as the #2 recycle code
- Store drop-off options may be available. Please ask us about this possibility.
Available attributes include:
- Handles, finger punches, hang holes

Every pound of plastic that is recycled eliminates 1 lb. of fossil fuel that would have been combusted to make new plastic. One billion pounds of recycled PE is equivalent to eliminating 2.9 billion pounds of CO2 from being released or eliminating approximately 350,000 cars from the road.
