Industrial operations generate a significant share of Canada’s total waste, with plastics, packaging, and by-products…

Plastics like LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) are among the most commonly used materials in Canadian industries, from packaging to manufacturing. However, without proper recycling programs, they often end up in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution. Implementing zero waste recycling for LDPE and HDPE helps businesses recover these valuable resources, reduce costs, and support Canada’s circular economy goals.
Why LDPE and HDPE Recycling Matters?
- LDPE: Widely used for film wraps, shopping bags, and packaging. It is lightweight and flexible but often overlooked in recycling.
- HDPE: Common in bottles, containers, and industrial packaging. Known for its strength and durability.
Recycling these plastics keeps them in the supply chain, reducing the need for virgin materials and lowering carbon footprints.
