Shrink Wrap Removal and Recycling Guide for LDPE Film Collected used packaging must be delivered to the waste management companies with the remaining film waste collected. Used thermal shrink packaging (material – LDPE, Plastic #4) can be recycled into other products. Please use this option!
  • Do not remove the packaging unless necessary to ensure maximum protection.
  • Before removing the packaging, consider whether you want to remove it in full or only partially (for example, a couple of sides).
    Please note! If you partially remove the packaging, note that the cut edges may cause the wind to tear away the rest of the packaging, so it may be necessary to fix the packaging to the module in advance.
  • Remove the strips from the packaging or, if no strips were used, cut open the lower perimeter of the packaging.
  • Cut open the side edges of the packaging.
  • In order to facilitate the handling of the packaging to be removed, it is recommended that it be removed in film strips of up to a few metres (the film quantity to be removed should not be too big or too heavy, and it should be easy to roll together).
  • Remove/cut out from the film panels all materials that are not plastic (stickers, wooden strips, vents, loading belts, etc.).
  • Unfold the cut-off/removed film panels and store them on top of one another.
  • The packaging must be rolled as tightly as possible to minimise the amount of waste produced. In order to avoid problems with handing over film to waste recycling companies, we recommend that the film be kept clean and not rolled together in the mud. For a larger number of packaging pieces, the packaging is sent to you in Big Bags, which you can use to make it easier to collect and hand over the removed thermal shrink film.
