Post-Consumer Recycled LDPE for Cast Film & Blown Film Extrusion
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) films, used for heavy duty bags, agricultural films, and industrial and consumer packaging are now subject to new packaging regulations. This includes the PPWR (Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation) which demands that by 2030, certain plastic packaging must contain ≈ 30% recycled content. How can you prepare and get ahead of the change?

New Specialised Recycling Plant in Europe
In Q1 of 2026, Oceanworks will open their first production site in Europe. Located in Prague, the new site will produce entirely recycled grades for film applications.
The new custom recycling line has been carefully designed by highly experienced thought leaders in the industry with a tailor made screw that facilitates a soft extrusion process. Soft extrusion allows the material to be processed at a lower temperature, minimising the occurrence of gels and producing a high quality, reliable product with excellent batch-to-batch consistency.
Alongside this, new contracts are being signed for European sourced feedstocks that will ensure good availability and quick lead times.
