Recycling Wrap-Around Tree Tags: Where and How to Recycle LDPE (PP4) Tags for a Sustainable Future

We know our customers value sustainability, and we’re committed to helping you make environmentally conscious choices. Our wrap-around tree tags are crafted from Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), a material known for its durability and recyclability. Classified as PP4, this plastic can be recycled, but options can vary by location. Here’s a guide to where and how you can recycle your tags to support a cleaner, greener planet.

National & State Programs

National Recycling Programs for LDPE

In Australia, certain soft plastics, including LDPE (PP4), can be recycled through national programs like REDcycle. REDcycle drop-off points are conveniently available at major supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths. This program helps keep soft plastics, including wrap-around tags, out of landfills and repurposes them into new products. For more details on recycling soft plastics, check out this comprehensive guide from Choice: Recycling Flexible Plastics.

State-Specific Recycling Initiatives

  • South Australia: Leading the way with an 80% recovery rate, South Australia has numerous facilities accepting LDPE, making it easier to recycle materials like wrap-around tree tags.
  • Victoria: The Recycling Victoria initiative is heavily investing in new recycling infrastructure, expanding options for soft plastic recycling statewide.
  • New South Wales: In NSW, kerbside programs are increasingly accepting soft plastics, and several councils now offer dedicated drop-off points for LDPE materials.

Each council may have different guidelines, so be sure to consult your local council’s recycling page. Need guidance on recycling by state? Check out this Recycling Guide.

What Happens to Recycled LDPE (PP4)?

When LDPE is recycled, it’s given a new life as various useful products, supporting a circular economy and helping reduce plastic waste. Here are some common products made from recycled LDPE:

  • Bin Liners and Refuse Bags: Recycled LDPE is often transformed into durable bin liners, making waste management more sustainable.
  • Outdoor Furniture: Recycled LDPE can be molded into weather-resistant outdoor furniture, providing a longer lifecycle for this material.
  • Plastic Lumber: Perfect for decking, garden furniture, and landscaping materials, recycled plastic lumber is strong, rot-resistant, and eco-friendly.
  • Floor Tiles: LDPE can be repurposed into floor tiles, which are durable and add value to sustainable construction projects.

These are just a few ways that LDPE can be reused, helping to close the loop on plastic waste and contributing to a more sustainable environment.
