LDPE Recycling for Business
Practical, reliable soft plastic recycling solutions for supermarkets, retail stores, warehouses and commercial operations across the Hervey Bay, Mackay and Rockhampton regions.
From supermarkets and retail stores through to distribution centres and commercial facilities, we provide soft plastic recycling for businesses generating large volumes of LDPE.
What is LDPE Recycling?
LDPE recycling refers to the collection and processing of Low-Density Polyethylene plastics - commonly known as ‘soft plastics.’ These materials are widely used in retail, warehousing and packaging applications.
Common soft plastics we collect and recycle include:
Plastic bags
Cling wrap and shrink film
Pallet wrap
Soft packaging materials
Snack wrappers
Plastic overwrap from cartons
Reliable Commercial Plastic Recycling
Businesses across Australia have been looking for reliable recycling pathways following the REDcycle scheme shutdown in 2022. The collapse left thousands of tonnes of LDPE recycling stockpiled, with many organisations uncertain about how to responsibly manage commercial volumes moving forward.
The good news is, things have progressed rapidly, with several large-scale soft plastics processing and manufacturing facilities now operating across the country.
Beneficial Recycling provides a practical solution for regional Queensland businesses needing a dependable and transparent LDPE recycling process. We work directly with commercial operators to ensure soft plastics are collected, consolidated, and moved into legitimate recycling streams via Brisbane.
Soft plastics can quickly become difficult to manage onsite. They take up valuable space and often end up in landfill when businesses don’t have access to a practical recycling solution.
Our LDPE recycling service is designed to make the process simple, cost-effective, and reliable. We work with businesses with varying operational needs and can tailor a collection solution that best suits you.
Soft Plastic Recycling Solutions
We can provide:
Scheduled recurring collections
Flexible ad hoc pickups
Depot drop-off options for businesses with their own transport
Support for businesses using vertical balers onsite
Baler rental solutions where required
We can collect your soft plastics either:
Pre-baled, if you have your own vertical baler onsite (or lease one from us)
With the loose soft plastics stuffed into a larger plastic bag (“bag in bag”)
Some businesses prefer to deliver baled plastic directly to our depot. In these cases, our team can safely unload the material using forklifts for efficient processing.
What Happens Next
Once your LDPE recycling arrives at our depot, smaller bales and bags are broken apart and reprocessed through our large commercial-grade baler.
The material is then sent to Brisbane and supplied to manufacturers who recycle the plastic into new products such as plastic bags, buckets and other reusable plastic items.
Feel Secure in your Environmental Responsibility
With Australia consuming around 4 million tonnes of plastic products and packaging annually, businesses are under increasing pressure to improve waste management and reduce landfill contributions.
