 Recycled
Resins For Making Trash Can Liners
We recycle post industrial scrap for making all kinds of liners including trash
can liners. Once the post industrial scrap is reprocessed into small
pellets, flakes or film, it is sold to film manufacturers for making new
plastic products. We specialize in two of the most polyolefins: polyethylene
and polypropylene. Our polyethylene's, NPI – 04HDPE
Mixed Color and NPI – 01LL/LD
Mixed Color offer film manufacturers a superior quality alternative to
virgin resins, and are well-matched for making trash can liners. As a plastic
recycler, we have an well stocked supply of recycled polyolefin's and are
fully prepared to offer you the lowest cost performance solutions available.
Why Trash Can Liners?
Made from plastic film, trash can liners are usually made with polyolefins
including low and high density polyethylene. Defined as a type of flexible
material made of thin, flexible plastic film, can liners cover a broad range
of products from trash or garbage bags to liners for industrial drums and
boxes. Used as both a cover and liner for protecting items and the inside of
containers, trash can liners are convenient, reusable and durable. Their main
function is to protect containers from garbage cans to drums, and to carry or
hold all types of trash and litter, chemicals and other waste.
Benefits of Trash Can Liners
The benefits of trash can liners are twofold. More flexible and durable than
other materials, plastic liners provides a better moisture and chemical
barrier, and offers higher resistance to tear propagation. Trash can liners
are typically made from linear low density polyethylene for superior tensile
strength and tear resistance. Lightweight, but strong and durable, can liners
make it possible to move and store more waste than ever before. And because
of their advanced resistance to tearing and leaking, these liners make it
possible to handle waste and other hazardous material without any threat to
the surrounding environment.
Resin Properties For Trash Can Liners
Part of our plastic recycling service involves helping manufacturers choose
the right resin for their process. Key processing and physical properties for
our high density polyethylene include density and melt flow index. They are
key indicators of what the melt strength and flow will be when it comes to
their processing. If you're looking for resins to use for your film molding
process, the lower the melt index, the greater the melt strength will be. At
the same time, a higher melt index means a faster melt flow which helps with
the film forming process. High density polyethylene is often used to create
film liners that are stronger and have less clarity than lower densities of
polyethylene. Trash can liners made of low density polyethylene will have
more clarity, but won't be as strong as high density polyethylene liners.

Applications for Recycled Polyethylene
Polyethylene is the most versatile resin when it comes to making film
liners. As recyclers and suppliers of polyethylene for making trash can
liners, our polyethylene is used for a wide range of film applications
including bags, wrapping, and sheeting. Because of its unique properties, our
recycled polyethylene is used by a wide range of industries from food
processing to industrial packaging, and sanitation. Most of these products
are created using blown and cast film molding processes and range from to
drum liners, pallet covers, gaylord box liners, mattress covers, and auto
seat covers.
