LLDPE Stretch Film
We buy clear LLDPE pallet-wrap scrap — machine and hand film — at 95/5 or better, from distribution centres, 3PLs and manufacturers UK-wide.
Stretch wrap is one of the cleanest post-commercial film streams in the UK: clear, single-polymer, generated in volume at every distribution centre. It is also one of the easiest to ruin with labels, tape and cord strapping baled in. We buy machine film and hand film at 95/5 or better against a short, explicit acceptance spec, quote from photos, and ship as B3011 to Turkish film producers where it returns as stretch film and general film products. For regular DC volumes we set up scheduled collections with reconciled weights.
