Speaking of environmentally friendly PE, it is the latest environmentally friendly and recyclable material. However, it is also known that in the plastic family, besides PE, there are also materials such as PET, PP, and nylon. Why has PE become an environmentally friendly material? Do environmentally friendly PET and PP exist?
Rather than saying that PE has become an environmentally friendly material, it is more optimistic about PE as a material. There are two main points. Firstly, in terms of usage, PE is the most widely used and widely used among the four major plastics. Whether it is in terms of performance or use, PE serves as a base layer, and the importance of the base layer is self-evident; The second PE has heat sealing properties. In soft packaging, only polyethylene and polypropylene have heat sealing properties. PET and nylon do not have this heat sealing property.
The remaining polyethylene and polypropylene, only polyethylene, have cold resistance.
In fact, it took four years for this environmentally friendly PE to be developed and born, because the industry knows what 2025 represents. By then, no matter how big the packaging company or the large companies using packaging are, they will all sign the commitment to environmental protection in 2025. Starting from the successful research and development of environmentally friendly PE in 2020, it has only been 5 years since 2025. From the development trend of the entire industry, industry insiders have come to a conclusion from the controversial opinions of recyclability, single material recycling, or biodegradability: only single material recycling can be used.
To achieve a large-scale replacement within these 5 years, we can only rely on single material recycling. Moreover, single material recycling shows that currently three types of films are mainly used, BOPP/PET/PA/PE. Only PE (polyethylene) has some characteristics and properties that other types of plastics do not have, which can achieve single material recycling.
