Non-biodegradable garbage bag compound

Non-biodegradable garbage bag compounds are known as one of the most widely used materials in the packaging and waste collection industry, designed using a strong and durable formulation. These compounds are mainly formulated based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) to provide the highest level of mechanical strength and tear resistance. In the formulation of these compounds, significant percentages of high-quality recycled polyethylene (about 40-50%) are used, which in addition to reducing production costs, also helps to reduce the consumption of primary resources. From a technical point of view, these compounds should have a low melt flow index (MFI) (about 0.5-1.0 g/10 min) to enable the production of thick and resistant films. Tensile strength in the range of 30-40 MPa, elongation of 500-600% and very high tear resistance are the key features of these compounds. The thickness of the produced film usually varies between 50 and 120 microns, which is determined depending on the type of application and capacity of the bag. Essential additives in these compounds include strong thermal stabilizers to prevent degradation during the process, anti-block and anti-slip agents to prevent adhesion of the layers, and highly stable pigments to produce bags with uniform color. Also, internal and external lubricants are used to facilitate the production process and improve the performance of the bag. In the market segment, these compounds have been widely accepted by garbage bag manufacturers for domestic, commercial and industrial uses due to their strength and high tear resistance. The ability to bear heavy weight and resistance to puncture make these bags ideal for collecting all types of dry and wet waste. Also, compatibility with film and bag making machines available on the market is considered an important advantage of these compounds. A successful marketing strategy for these products is based on emphasizing exceptional strength, tear resistance, and competitive pricing. Given the increasing waste production in the country and the need for durable garbage bags, the market for these compounds has significant growth potential. Manufacturers can increase their share in the domestic market and enter regional markets by utilizing these compounds. As a result, non-degradable garbage bag compounds with an optimal combination of mechanical strength, tear resistance, and competitive pricing offer an ideal solution for manufacturers to meet the needs of different markets. Continuous development of these formulations in light of technological advances and market changes is an undeniable necessity to maintain competitiveness in the country’s packaging industry.
