This grade is a white rLDPE PCR resin made from used eyedrop bottles. The spec sheet identifies it as PCR and lists mulching film and stretch film as its application areas.

LDPE, or low-density polyethylene, is a flexible thermoplastic widely used in films and packaging. Recycled LDPE (rLDPE) is LDPE that has been recovered and reprocessed for use in new products — the "r" indicates recycled origin, not a specific polymer grade or blend ratio. PCR (post-consumer recycled) describes where that recycled material comes from: products that already served their intended purpose and were collected for recycling afterward. In short, LDPE identifies the polymer type, rLDPE indicates it has been recycled, and PCR identifies the source of that recycled feedstock.

The spec sheet lists a melt flow index (MFI) of 0.6 g/10 min and a density of 0.92 g/cm³. Under comparable test conditions, a lower MFI generally indicates lower melt flow and higher apparent melt viscosity. The MFI test temperature and load are not provided on the spec sheet and should be confirmed with Regenport. Processing suitability should be validated through trials on the buyer's own equipment rather than inferred from MFI and density alone.

Application and Trial Evaluation

This grade is listed for mulching film and stretch film applications. Before moving to volume production, buyers evaluating a trial order should check flow behavior, color consistency, residual odor, and compatibility with their intended formulation and processing line. Certification information is not listed on the spec sheet for this grade — see the Frequently Asked Questions section below for how to confirm documentation with Regenport.

Material Data

Supply Availability from South Korea

The spec sheet lists South Korea as the origin, with an available quantity of 30 MT per month. When submitting an RFQ, include the required volume, intended application (mulching film or stretch film), delivery destination, and preferred delivery schedule. For repeat purchasing, discuss lot-to-lot consistency requirements and any agreed acceptance criteria before finalizing supply arrangements. The listed monthly quantity should be treated as a reference for sourcing discussions rather than a confirmed allocation for a particular order.

A Practical PCR Option for Mulching and Stretch Film Evaluation

This rLDPE grade is one option for buyers reviewing recycled content for mulching film or stretch film applications. A 1 kg sample is available at no material charge, with freight paid by the buyer; additional samples are available on request. If a larger quantity is needed for a film-line trial, contact Regenport to confirm quantity and any applicable charges. Buyers should review their sample evaluation results alongside the agreed material specifications, documentation requirements, and supply terms before moving to a commercial purchase.
