Recycling at FELM Limited

Building a circular future, one recycled bag at a time.

Recycling is the process of collecting, processing, and converting used materials into new products—preventing waste, conserving natural resources, and reducing environmental impact.

Use Bag

Everyday use of strong, durable polythene bags for packaging, storage, and transport. Designed to meet domestic, industrial, and medical needs.

Collect bags at collection point

Customers dispose of bags which are collected at designated collection bins and drop-off stations for responsible disposal.

Recycle collected bags

Collected bags are cleaned, shredded, and processed in FELM’s recycling unit, transforming waste into reusable material.

Re-Use new bags

The recycled material is crafted into high-quality polythene bags, ready to serve customers again—closing the loop.

What Is Polythene Recycling?

Polythene recycling involves the recovery and reprocessing of polyethylene (PE)—a common plastic used in packaging such as ziplock bags, wrappers, and industrial liners—into reusable raw materials. At FELM Limited, this process helps us minimize waste and extend the life cycle of plastic packaging.

FELM’s Closed-Loop Recycling System

At FELM Limited, our commitment to sustainability is put into practice through a robust in-house polythene recycling system. We ensure that waste generated during and after production is not discarded but regenerated into useful packaging materials.

Step-by-Step: Our Polythene Recycling Process

1. Collection at Source

We collect:

  • Offcuts and trimmings from production

  • Returned or used polythene packaging from clients

  • Defective or damaged bags from quality control

2. Sorting and Pre-treatment

Materials are:

  • Categorized by polymer type (e.g., LDPE, HDPE)

  • Separated based on cleanliness and color

  • Washed, dried, and prepared for reprocessing

3. Shredding and Pelletizing

Cleaned polythene is:

  • Shredded into flakes

  • Melted down into plastic pellets

  • Filtered to remove impurities

4. Reintegration into Production

Recycled pellets are:

  • Blended with virgin materials (if necessary)

  • Molded into new packaging products—like ziplocks, liners, polybags, and films

  • Tested to ensure quality and safety
