Closed Loop Recycling

Polythene is a valuable and finite resource.

At Duo we invested in closed loop recycling because believe the optimum use for most polythene after its first use, is to be recycled and preferably into a product that can be recycled again.

The process of recycling plastics is a sustainable and future proof plan for an on-going solution. At Duo we offer a closed loop recycling system which is the leading recycling technology available.

The closed-loop recycling system returns waste polythene back into its raw pellet form.

The recycled pellets are then fed directly back into the extrusion process to increases the percentage of recycled material in the product.

At Duo we have proudly manufactured 95% recycled content retail carrier bags and 25% recycled content mailing bags without affecting the performance of the product.

Recycling polythene in this way is a real step on the road to sustainability. Closed loop recycling offers major environmental benefits including:

• Less waste going to landfill
• Less oil used for plastic production
• Reduced dependence on natural polythene
• Less energy overall consumed
