Is there anyone out there who can use bubble wrap laminated to 60 micron aluminium foil
off cuts and s/e trim for recyling or incineration ?

John we have some pretty good recycling firms up here and I have a guy coming in on Thursday to discuss all sorts of recycling. What quantities are you talking about and how much weight would you get on a wagon as transport is usually an issue.

Hi Joe
We would bail up the s/e Trim that has paper
or aluminium foil in it and load on pallets
the loose rolls would then go on
I would imagine in the region of 5 tonne
of scrap would fill a lorry
we do the same with a film we make with PE plus non woven PP which we send away to be recycled this we can use back into our production the scrap with paper or aluminium I am looking to just get rid of as it is costing us to send this to landfill

Hi Joe
The scrap figures on aluminium with bubble per month is on average 3 tonnes
so with the bubble and kraft will be about
5 tonnes

Since dumping this material is costing your company, why not offer to pay 50% of the cost of landfilling it to a recycler to remove it- that way everybody wins
