Recycling is the process of collecting, processing, and converting used materials into new products—preventing waste, conserving natural resources, and reducing environmental impact.
Everyday use of strong, durable polythene bags for packaging, storage, and transport. Designed to meet domestic, industrial, and medical needs.
Customers dispose of bags which are collected at designated collection bins and drop-off stations for responsible disposal.
Collected bags are cleaned, shredded, and processed in FELM’s recycling unit, transforming waste into reusable material.
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
