Flexible packaging materials including pouches, bags and films made of different types of polymers are not recyclable. However, if these materials are made of the same polymer, they can be melted and recycled. GOMONO, made of a single type of polymer (PE), is recyclable since it can be melted down and be used to make new pouches, bags, films, and other items. Mono-material (PE-based) bags are recyclable in the US through the Store Drop-off recycling program supported by How2Recycle® and widely recyclable in Canada.
