Benefits of Plastic/Polyethylene Food Packaging:

Sealable and air tight

Our packaging gives food and drink an increased shelf life, resulting in less food being thrown away

Lightweight and compact

Food products are easier to store and transport when packaged with plastic packaging as it weighs very little and you are able to group and palletise products

Durable and moisture proof

Plastic packaging protects food and drink items from moisture and contamination, thanks to its strength and watertight structure

Cost Effective

Polyethylene packaging costs relatively little to produce, making it one of the most cost effective packaging options.

Versatility

Due to the various ways of producing plastic packaging, it can meet a huge range of needs, such as using LDPE food packaging for when flexibility is needed, or using HDPE food packaging when something a little more rigid and robust is required

Polyethylene Packaging In the Food & Drink Industry

The food and drink industry uses plastics and polyethylene to protect products throughout the supply chain, making sure the items arrive at their destination, and in turn the consumer, in a safe and satisfactory condition. Packaging plays a vital role in reducing food waste and contributing to the sustainability of the whole supply chain.

It’s important, then, to carefully consider what you and your business require for your food and drink packaging needs, making sure you speak to an expert to get this vital component of your business right. Industrial Polythene can help you throughout this process, from discussing your specific needs, through to providing a bespoke packaging solution.

Once this plastic has been used for packaging food and beverage products, this packaging becomes post-consumer waste.

What is Post-Consumer Waste?

Post-consumer waste (PCW) is waste that is left over after it has served its original purpose as a consumer item, such as polythene used for food or product packaging.

Post-Consumer Waste, the Food & Beverage Industry, & Polyflex

Often, packaging in the food industry isn’t reused or recycled, nor made from recycled materials, causing damage to the environment.

That’s where we’re different.

We recycle post-consumer waste, using it to produce the sustainable packaging we offer. This reduces the amount of raw materials used to create new plastic packaging, and reduces the amount of polythene packaging that ends up in landfills.
