Factors such as sealing time, temperature and also pressure are taken into account, which are essential for reliable machine processability.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"hh-block block-paragraph block-paragraph--id-69ecae422323a\"data-mb=\"small\">In recent months, Oerlemans Plastics has played an active role as a material and knowledge partner. Various films have been produced with varying PCR contents and different LDPE\/LLDPE ratios, providing valuable data for further modelling.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"hh-block block-paragraph block-paragraph--id-69ecae422326e\"data-mb=\"small\">This development contributes to the ambition to realise high-quality, circular packaging solutions while maintaining processability and performance.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"hh-block block-paragraph block-paragraph--id-69ecae42232b2\"data-mb=\"small\">Oerlemans Plastics is participant in the CIFLEX project, co-funded by the European Union.
