You know that awkward moment when a customer asks:
"Is this bag recyclable?"
And you hesitate. You mumble something about "it depends." You hope they don't ask follow-up questions.
That feeling? It stops today.
The Problem with Traditional Bags
Most plastic packaging is made from multiple materials - PET, nylon, aluminum foil, PE - all laminated together. It performs well, but when it comes to recycling? Impossible.
They can't be separated. They can't be recycled. They end up in landfills or incinerators.
And in 2026, that's becoming a dealbreaker for both customers and regulators.
What Is Single PE?
Single PE means exactly what it sounds like: a bag made from one single type of plastic - polyethylene (PE).
No mixing. No layers that can't be separated. Just pure, simple PE.
Feature Traditional Multi-Material Single PE
Recyclable No Yes
EU-compliant At risk Fully compliant
Customer answer "It depends…" "YES, it's recyclable!"
Brand reputation Neutral Positive
The EU now requires packaging to contain at least 90% of a single material to be considered recyclable. Single PE bags exceed that standard.
Our Single PE Solutions
We manufacture gusseted and flat bags in single PE structures:
MDOPE/PE - MDOPE (machine-direction oriented PE) gives stiffness and clarity; PE gives heat-sealability
MDOPE/EVOH/PE - Adds a thin EVOH layer for oxygen barrier (<5% of total weight, still fully recyclable)
The Business Benefit
Switching to single PE isn't just about compliance. It's about customer trust.
When you can confidently say "Yes, this is recyclable," you're telling your customers you care. And customers reward that with loyalty.
