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
