Recyclable Pouch

Our recyclable pouches are designed to meet the requirements of most plastic recycling in the UK programs. However, local recycling capabilities vary, so we always recommend checking with your local authority. We can also advise on designing your packaging for OPRL compliance and clear recycling labelling.

Yes — you can include recycling logos, sustainability claims, and clear disposal instructions on your recyclable pouch packaging. Most of our recyclable pouches fall under:

• LDPE-4 (Low-Density Polyethylene) for PE/PE mono-material pouches

• PP-5 (Polypropylene) for PP/PP based structures

Adding these recycle class codes, along with icons like the Mobius loop or OPRL labels, helps consumers correctly identify and dispose of your packaging. Our team can support you with artwork placement to ensure your sustainability message is both visible and compliant.

We offer a range of sizes from 100g to 20kg. Whether you need small sachets or larger bulk packaging, we can accommodate your requirements with our customizable recyclable pouch options.

PE/PE pouches (LDPE-4) use polyethylene for both layers, offering excellent flexibility, heat-seal performance, and recyclability. PP/PP pouches (PP-5) are slightly stiffer and more suitable for higher-temperature applications or when more rigidity is needed. Both are mono-material, making them compatible with flexible plastic recycling streams in the UK and EU.

Absolutely. Our recyclable stand-up pouches and flat bottom pouches are compatible with most standard packing machinery. We can advise on sealing temperatures, jaw types, and pouch specifications to ensure smooth performance on your existing line.
