Recycled Plastic Products - Sustainable Films for Eco-Friendly Packaging

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the packaging industry. Businesses are actively seeking eco-friendly alternatives to conventional packaging materials.

Our online shop offers a wide range of high-quality recycled plastic products, from LDPE films made from recycled material to grip seal bags and adhesive tapes made from regenerated plastics.

These environmentally conscious solutions help reduce plastic waste and support the circular economy, making packaging more sustainable and resource-efficient.

What Are Recycled Products?

Recycled products are made from materials that have already been used and reprocessed rather than discarded. By reusing waste materials, these products help conserve natural resources, save energy, and reduce environmental impact.

What Materials Are Used to Make Recycled Products?

Recycled products can be made from a variety of materials including paper, cardboard, corrugated board, metal, glass, wood composites such as Hanit, and plastic.

Our recycled plastic films contain at least 50% post-industrial recycled material (PIR). Additionally, our bio-based paper products and films are sustainable, recyclable, and in some cases compostable and biodegradable.

Biodegradable: What Does It Mean?

Biodegradable plastics are special materials that break down into non-harmful natural substances through biological processes such as the action of microorganisms, water, and oxygen.

Unlike conventional plastics, which can persist in the environment for centuries, biodegradable plastics decompose much faster, leaving a smaller ecological footprint.

At dm-folien, we offer biodegradable packaging solutions as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic products. Our jute sacks, zip-lock bags, dog waste bags, mailing bags, corrugated cartons, and other products are biodegradable and partially compostable.

These items are perfect for companies seeking to make their packaging more environmentally friendly without compromising on functionality or quality.

PIR vs. PCR - Two Paths Toward Sustainability

• PIR (Post-Industrial Recycled) material is recovered from production waste, such as offcuts or rejected items generated during manufacturing. Because it is sorted and processed cleanly, PIR offers high-quality recycled content.
• PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) material is obtained from used plastic packaging, such as films or bottles. It plays a key role in reducing plastic waste and protecting the environment.

At dm-folien, we provide a wide range of products made from both PIR and PCR materials, including stretch films, pallet covers, document wallets, mailing bags, garbage bags, and many other sustainable packaging solutions.

Both recycling types make our film products eco-friendly and resource-efficient, while maintaining the same trusted quality and performance as conventional materials.

Why Choose Recycled Products?

Sustainable & Recyclable Films for Your Needs

Our sustainable and environmentally friendly films made from recycled materials combine functionality with resource efficiency. Whether you need biodegradable mailing bags, reusable films, bio-based corrugated packaging, or recyclable stretch film, we offer customised solutions for every application.

How Sustainable Are Our Recycling Products Really?

Our products are made from a high proportion of recycled materials and are fully recyclable themselves. Many of our paper and shipping products are also biodegradable and compostable. Despite being eco-friendly, they still deliver the same strength, performance, and reliability as conventional non-recycled products.

Are There Quality Differences Compared to Conventional Products?

No, our recyclable products are just as strong, flexible, and durable as traditional options. They meet the same performance standards but are significantly more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Disposal and Circular Economy of Films and Plastic Products

At dm-folien, we understand the value of film waste and are committed to keeping it in the recycling loop. We collect used film waste and work with partner companies to reprocess it into new plastic granules. These granules are then used to produce new recyclable film products such as machine stretch film, hand stretch film, pallet wrap, zip-lock bags, stand-up pouches, flat bags, adhesive tape, mailing bags, and more.

This process helps us close the material cycle and promote a truly circular economy in plastic packaging.

Biodegradable: Sustainable Disposal

Biodegradable products such as corrugated board, cardboard, PLA, and jute should be disposed of correctly to maximise their environmental benefits. Both businesses and private individuals can place these products in industrial composting facilities or in a suitable biodegradable waste container designed for organic decomposition.

It is important that these materials do not end up in general waste, as they cannot be properly recycled there. Correct disposal helps to reduce waste, conserve resources, and support a truly sustainable circular economy.

Sustainable Bags & Films - Custom Printed and Personalized

Another highlight of our product range includes recycled grip seal bags and flat bags, ideal for secure storage and multiple reuse.

These resealable and sustainable bags offer a versatile packaging solution for various uses, from food packaging and book wrapping to documents, cosmetics, and more.

We also provide a wide range of eco-friendly bags and custom-printed film products, such as stretch film, flat bags, mailing bags, document wallets, and adhesive tape. Perfect for companies that want to combine sustainable packaging with effective brand communication.

Whether it’s a company logo, advertising message, or a unique design, we create bespoke printing solutions tailored to your needs.

You can freely choose your printing colours in Pantone or RAL. We can produce both single-colour and multi-colour prints, simply contact us to discuss your requirements.

Choose Sustainably - Buy Recycled Packaging

More and more businesses are switching to eco-friendly raw materials and recycled shipping packaging made from sustainable resources. By using materials with recycled content, you make a positive contribution to environmental protection while also reducing packaging costs.

Discover our full range of sustainable packaging and film products in our online shop, because every choice for recycled packaging is a step towards a greener future.

Post-Consumer vs. Post-Industrial Recycled Material - What’s the Difference?

The difference between post-consumer and post-industrial recycled material lies mainly in their origin, processing, and material quality.

Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Material

• Definition: A general term for plastics recovered from used consumer products or packaging.
• Source: Comes from post-consumer waste, such as household packaging, bottles, or films.
• Processing: Collected plastic waste is sorted, cleaned, shredded, and reprocessed into new granules.
• Quality: Varies depending on the purity of the original material.

Post-Industrial Recycled (PIR) Material

• Definition: A high-quality type of recycled material obtained from industrial production waste.
• Source: Typically comes from clean, single-grade manufacturing waste such as offcuts, rejected parts, or film remnants.
• Processing: These materials are directly granulated or extruded into new pellets without significant contamination or material mixing.
• Quality: Often comparable to virgin material in consistency and performance.

In simple terms: Every PIR material is a form of recycled plastic, but not every recycled plastic qualifies as PIR. PIR is essentially the premium version of recycled material, offering excellent quality and performance.
