Why Our PE-PE Bags Are Perfect for Kerbside Recycling in Australia

Sustainability is no longer optional for businesses—it’s essential. At VIVO PACKAGING, we’re proud to lead the way with our innovative, recyclable PE-PE (Polyethylene-Polyethylene) pouches. Designed specifically to meet Australia’s kerbside recycling standards, these eco-friendly packaging solutions ensure seamless collection, processing, and reuse, contributing to a sustainable circular economy.

What Makes Packaging Recyclable in Australia?
For packaging to qualify as recyclable under Australian guidelines, it must meet the criteria set by the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) program and Sustainable Packaging Guidelines (SPGs):

1. Collection Access: At least 80% of the population should have access to a recycling service that accepts the packaging.
2. Recyclability Threshold: A minimum of 70% of the packaging’s weight must be recyclable into new products or raw materials.
3. Sorting and Reprocessing: The packaging must be sortable at Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) and have a strong, established end market for recycled materials. Our PE-PE recyclable pouches are meticulously designed to meet all these criteria, offering businesses a reliable, eco-conscious solution.

What Makes PE-PE Bags Stand Out?
PE-PE bags are crafted from a single polymer material, making them mono-material packaging, which is critical for recyclability. Unlike multi-material or composite packaging that can disrupt recycling processes, our PE-PE bags are:

1. Mono-Material: A single-polymer design ensures compatibility with kerbside recycling systems, eliminating contamination risks.
2. Highly Recyclable: As per the Design for Kerbside Recyclability Grading Framework, mono-material flexible films like PE-PE bags achieve Grades A-B, the highest recyclability rating.
3. Aligned with Australian Standards: These pouches meet the rigorous requirements of ARL and SPGs, ensuring full compliance with national recycling standards.

Why Choose PE-PE Bags for Your Business?
Switching to PE-PE recyclable pouches offers multiple benefits:

1. Environmentally Sustainable: Reduce landfill waste and embrace circular economy practices by using recyclable packaging.
2. Customisable Options: Our PE-PE pouches are fully customisable in size, design, and branding, catering to diverse product needs while maintaining their recyclability.
3. Market Demand for Recycled Material: The recycled polyethylene from these bags is in high demand, ensuring your packaging contributes to a sustainable lifecycle.
