USES OF POLYETHYLENE FILMS

Polyethylene (PE) films come to the rescue when shielding objects from specks of dust, spoilage, scratches, surfactants, humidity or any other undesirable adulteration. Along with a wide range of thickness and functionality, there are various monikers associated with PE films, namely Visqueen, poly-sheeting, polyethylene sheet and plastic film. The application of these films varies drastically; for instance in construction projects they act as vapour retarders, window films, flooring and countertop projections etc, while also being the primary material in the retail industry for packaging and manufacturing of products. Derived from petroleum and composed of hydrocarbons, let's take a look at the multiple types of Polyethylene films Megaplast offers, based on their specificity of need:

Stretch Films

Commonly designed to tightly bind around a product and keep it intact, the Megaplast stretch films with widths up to 5 metres protect packages from scratches, stains, and unwarranted contamination, especially when transiting from various locations. These films are made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) thus giving them their highly stretchable property. With 5 layers of high-quality polyethylene for more strength, these stretch films can stretch up to three times more than their original structure. The benefits of the stretch films include holding boxes together on a pallet for transportation to discourage load tampering and reduce worker injury.

Cling Films

Also known as plastic wrap or food wrap, the Megaplast cling films are befitting for storing and wrapping food items. With a thickness of approximately 0.0005 inches or less, this fine film “clings” to many smooth surfaces retaining its firmness without needing an adhesive to keep it attached to the opening of a container or a food item. The cling films are usually made of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) that can add tensile strength for additional durability. As an essential member of one’s kitchen, the cling film gives an air-tight covering around cooked/uncooked dishes to protect their original form and nourishment by averting contamination and spoilage.

Agriculture Films

The increased demand for effective crop productivity and protection of quality calls for the usage of Megaplast Agriculture films whose plasticulture range includes Mulch Films, Pond Liners and Silage Films. Mulch Films help prevent moisture loss and pests, improve crop yield and precocity as well as maintain the soil temperature. Pond Liners immensely contribute to the conservation of water and marine habitat by restricting risks like UV rays exposure due to their puncture-resistant and impermeable membrane. As for Silage Films, with widths up to 24 metres, they are designed for the optimal preservation and fermentation of silage, hay and maize in areas with a short growth period of herding grass. Other than PE, the Silage films are also composed of Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and Ethylene Butyl Acrylate (EBA).

Industrial Films

Goods during transit need to be protected with the utmost care, which Megaplast ensures is accomplished when secured with Industrial films. Industrial films come in various forms such as Polyester yarn packing which is a thermoplastic made from polymeric melt and can be found in multiple dyes. Similarly, Rubber packing/ rubber gaskets is also an excellent material for forming seals and closures. Industrial rubber films usually comprise Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), Silicon and other materials depending on the specifics required for packing.

In conclusion, Polyethylene Films come in a gamut of forms for a diverse range of applications. We can help you get the appropriate PE films with respect to your needs.

Accurately tracking how plastic biodegrades

Modern agriculture uses a lot of plastic, especially in the form of mulch film that farmers use to cover field soils. This keeps the soils moist for crops, suppresses weeds and promotes crop growth.

However, it is usually very time-consuming and costly for farmers to collect and dispose of conventional polyethylene (PE) film after use. In addition, it isn't possible to re-collect all of the thin PE films, as they tear easily. This means PE-pieces remain on and in the soil and accumulate there, because PE doesn't degrade.

Biodegradable mulch film is a promising alternative, because—in contrast to PE film—it ideally does not to leave behind any polymer components in the soil environment. The biodegradable polymers it contains are deliberately designed so that microorganisms can use them to generate energy and build cell biomass.

The biodegradable polymers have intended chemical "breaking points" in their backbone structure. Naturally occurring microorganisms, such as those in soil, can release enzymes into their environment that attack these points in the polymers and break them down. The small degradation products released are then taken up by the microbes and ultimately respired to form the final product, CO2.

In Saint-Léon close to Bordeaux is located a “laboratory” that gives new life to plastic waste

At the crossroads of contemporary design and the circular economy, the Plastiquerie manufactures sustainable furniture from recycled plastic.

So what do the big yellow and blue bags from Ikea or the construction helmets from the manufacturer Vinci have in common? They are made of a plastic material that can be recycled to make new objects. “Recycled plastic is a material with endless possibilities that I want to make known to designers. It’s a bit like the marble of the Anthropocene”, explains Julie Robert, co-founder of La Plastiquerie [1] based in Saint-Léon[2], about thirty kilometres south-east of Bordeaux.

Shelves, furniture or floor tiles

Since 2021, the independent artistic director has been passionate about this raw material, she has learned the properties of in order to manufacture designer objects and furniture. The association recovers plastic waste in polypropylene (PP)[3], polyethylene (PE)[4] or polystyrene (PS)[5]  to give them a second life. “PET[6] waste such as plastic bottles already benefit from recycling solutions. I focus on families of plastics that are still poorly revalued”, she specifies. Protective films, water tubes from construction sites or industry off-cuts from yoghurt pots are thus treated in a 100 m² workshop housed in the premises of the Syndicate of the Entre-deux-Mers-West-region for the Collection and Treatment of Household Waste[7].

There, under a sheet metal shed, a shredder and a hot press transform the collected waste into confetti and then into large recycled plastic plates that will be used to make shelves, furniture or floor tiles. “La Plastiquerie is a laboratory where we develop prototypes of objects resulting from the recovery of plastic. From cans and flowerpots, for example, I imagined a wall light that saves 980 grams of plastic from landfill and incineration,” explains the entrepreneur.

"Companies want to recycle their own waste"

Although the Plastiquerie was co-founded with another woman, Amandine Boutang, Julie Robert now works alone, sometimes helped by an intern and supported by a board of directors, on her experiments with furniture designed in recycled and recyclable plastic. She is thinking about a waste sorting cabinet for the canteen of the Suez[8]  headquarters in Occitanie-Nouvelle Aquitaine[9]. For the Bordeaux start-up Arits[10], she is working on the design of a lamp. A bank has also just approached her for an interior design project…

"Companies come naturally to the association because they want to recover their own waste or participate in the circular economy", rejoices the forty-year-old who wants to sharpen her expertise on recycled plastic to convince designers to adopt it. Two years after the launch of her project, Julie Robert draws a positive balance sheet: “I discovered the world of the circular economy where the actors are positive, imaginative people, full of energy and solutions. A world in which a great breath of optimism is sweeping in which I find myself.”
