LDPE Recycling at Bayard Packaging
Bayard Packaging is a leading British manufacturer of flexible packaging, specialising in the production of eCommerce transport packaging, mailing & courier bags and poly envelopes. We produce multiple millions of fully recyclable flexible packaging annually for supply throughout the UK and Europe.
At Bayard Packaging, we are committed to producing flexible packaging solutions that are not only high-quality but also environmentally responsible. Many of our products, including our polythene mailing bags and protective films, are made from Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), a recyclable material identified by recycling code 4.
Is LDPE recyclable?
Yes. LDPE is fully recyclable, but because it is a flexible plastic, it requires specialist recycling streams rather than standard kerbside collections.
How to recycle LDPE in the UK
For households and businesses, LDPE can be recycled through:
- Supermarket collection points
Many UK supermarkets, including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, and Co-op, accept LDPE soft plastics such as carrier bags, polythene packaging, and film at dedicated recycling points. - Local recycling centres
Some council Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) accept LDPE films. Check your local council’s recycling guide for details. - Commercial recycling solutions
For businesses that use larger volumes of our packaging, specialist commercial recycling providers can collect and process LDPE, turning it into new products such as refuse sacks, agricultural sheeting, and new packaging.
How Bayard Packaging supports sustainability
- We design our packaging to be recyclable wherever possible
- We encourage customers to return or recycle LDPE responsibly
- We ensure our products are manufactured in the UK, reducing transport emissions and supporting local recycling infrastructure
