What are rPE plastics ?
rPE (Recycled High Density Polyethylene)
Our flagship human contact safe rPE (recycled polyethylene) resin is a versatile recycled plastic resin which meets the stringent requirements of the US and EU packaging safety standards and can be incorporated in a wide range of applications in packaging for hair care, personal care, home care, fabric care, chemicals, and lubricant oils by FMCG and Lube brands.
Our general purpose rPE resin is a proven, cost-effective solution for various product applications such as pipes, cables, sheets, bags, and more.
What is recycled polypropylene?
rPP (Recycled Polypropylene)
We offer a range of Premium rPP(recycled polypropylene) resins for blow grade and injection grade packaging and product applications such as packaging caps and closures, injection-molded cosmetic containers, injection molded components, and blow-molded bottles.
Why Choose rPE and rPP Plastic? – Safe, Sustainable, and Reliable
Choosing rPE and rPP plastic provides a safe, sustainable and reliable option. It also has the following benefits :
Versatile:
Recycled plastics like rPE and rPP are used in packaging, automotive parts, consumer goods, construction, textiles, and medical devices, making them popular in various industries.
Sustainable:
Less landfill waste, lower carbon footprint of production when using recycled materials
Quality and Performance:
Advancements in recycling technology have improved rPE and rPP quality, meeting technical specifications for many applications and sometimes rivaling virgin materials.
Environmental Impact:
rPE and rPP reduce the environmental footprint by repurposing PCR & PIR, decreasing the need for new production and minimizing landfill waste.
Applications of Recycled Polypropylene (rPP) Plastic
Recycled polypropylene (rPP) is used in packaging materials like bottles, caps, and containers. It also finds applications in automotive parts such as bumpers and interior trims, as well as consumer goods like toys and storage containers. Additionally, rPP is employed in construction materials and textiles.
Applications of Recycled Polyethylene (rPE) Plastic
Recycled polyethylene (rPE) is utilized in consumer goods packaging, including bottles, films, and bags. It is also used in construction for pipes and sheets, industrial applications like protective packaging, and transportation for automobile fuel tanks and interior components.
These concise descriptions highlight the key uses of recycled rPP and rPE plastics across different industries.
The Sustainable Impact of a Circular Economy
This concept of a circular economy brings in several advantages. From an environmental standpoint, it helps minimize waste and pollution and cuts down greenhouse gas emissions. Waste management forms the core of the circular economy, as it eradicates the concept of “end-of-life.” The circular model encourages continuous resource cycling, converting potential waste into a valuable input for new products.For example, in a circular economy in plastic recycling, effective waste management focuses on minimizing landfill waste, preserving natural resources, and maximizing material use through recycling. This helps in pollution reduction because lesser dependence on landfills means lesser environmental pollutants and less degradation of soil and water. Circular waste management practices lead to more sustainable, healthier communities, whereas efficient recycling processes conserve energy and resources, reducing the environmental footprint of manufacturing companies. With the circular economy, Plastic recycling waste management is no longer about disposal; it’s about resource recovery and regeneration.
Why Choose Banyan Nation for Sustainable RPE and RPP Plastic Solutions?
Banyan Nation is an award-winning, vertically integrated plastics recycling company that helps global brands use more recycled plastic instead of virgin plastic. Banyan has created a closed-loop system for packaging plastics, where discarded plastic bottles are collected, sorted, and processed back into raw materials to be used in new packaging bottles. By adopting this circular production model, Banyan has been able to reduce the amount of plastic packaging waste that ends up in landfills or the environment.
In addition to this Banyan works in a socially inclusive model that integrates informal workers. Banyan works to formalize them and integrate them into formal product supply chains.
Banyan has developed pioneering solutions to address the fragmented informal supply chains, low-quality recycling, and challenges in incorporating recycled content in packaging
- An innovative and proprietary data intelligence platform (deployed across India) to enable the tracking and tracing of waste from collection to recycling, providing 100% transparency and accountability throughout the supply chain
- A proprietary plastics cleaning technology that eliminates over 90% of product and packaging contaminants to produce human contact safe recycled plastics that meet US and EU packaging safety standards
- Testing, development, and R&D capabilities that allow Banyan to offer unique solutions for polyolefins customers in the FMCG, Lubricants and other industries
The recycled plastic granules produced are comparable to virgin plastics in quality and performance. Banyan Nation has helped major FMCG companies like Unilever, Reckitt and lube oil companies like Shell and IOCL to put over two billion bottles from their human contact safe PCR granules.
