What Are Plastic Laminated Pouches?

Plastic laminated pouches are protective packaging materials made by sealing paper or printed material between two layers of plastic film. They are flexible, durable and widely used in food packaging, printing, document protection and commercial packaging

What Are Plastic Laminated Pouches Made Of?

Plastic laminated pouches are usually made from a combination of PET and EVA. PET provides a stiff, rigid and protective outer layer, while EVA is commonly used as the inner adhesive layer because of its strong bonding performance during the laminating process.

Why Recycle Plastic Laminated Pouches?

Recycling plastic laminated pouches helps reduce packaging waste and supports more efficient material recovery. Since laminated pouches are made from mixed plastic layers, proper size reduction is an important first step before further recycling, disposal or energy recovery.

How to Recycle Plastic Laminated Pouches?

The recycling process usually starts with shredding or granulating the laminated pouches into smaller pieces. A double shaft shredder is suitable for primary shredding of large quantities of loose laminates, laminated pouches and long strips. It can reduce the material into smaller strips and prepare it for downstream processing. A plastic granulator or grinder is better for secondary size reduction, producing smaller particles with a more uniform size. The final particle size can be controlled by the screen mesh size.
