Complete Guide on MLP (Multi-Layer Plastic): Types, Uses, Recycling, and Market Trends

1. What is MLP (Multi-Layer Plastic)?

MLP (Multi-Layer Plastic) refers to packaging material made from two or more layers of different plastic or non-plastic films laminated together. It is primarily used in flexible packaging, especially for food, pharmaceuticals, and FMCG products.

Key Purpose:
Each layer in MLP serves a specific function such as moisture resistance, oxygen barrier, strength, sealability, or printability.

2. Common Structures in MLP

Layer Material Function
Outer Layer PET, BOPP Print surface, strength
Middle Barrier Aluminum foil, EVOH Oxygen/light barrier
Inner Layer LDPE, CPP Sealability, moisture barrier

Examples of Multi-Layer Combinations:

  • PET/Alu/LDPE

  • BOPP/PE

  • Nylon/PE/CPP

3. Applications of MLP Packaging

MLP is widely used in industries such as:

✅ Food Packaging

  • Snack packs (chips, biscuits)

  • Frozen foods

  • Coffee & tea pouches

  • Ready-to-eat meal packaging

✅ Pharmaceutical Packaging

  • Blister packs

  • Sachets for powders and syrups

✅ Personal Care & FMCG

  • Shampoo sachets

  • Detergent packets

  • Cosmetic tubes

✅ Industrial Products

  • Lubricant pouches

  • Fertilizer & pesticide packaging

4. Benefits of MLP

  • Excellent barrier properties

  • Lightweight yet durable

  • Extended shelf life of contents

  • Customizable for branding and print

  • Low cost for mass packaging

5. Challenges with MLP

  • Difficult to recycle due to the mixed-material layers

  • Not compatible with standard single-plastic recycling systems

  • Contributes to plastic pollution and landfill load

  • Requires advanced recycling methods like pyrolysis or co-processing

6. MLP Recycling Methods

Method Description
Co-processing Used as fuel in cement kilns
Pyrolysis Converts MLP waste to fuel or oil
Delamination Mechanical/chemical separation of layers
Compression Molding Converts waste into sheets or boards

Products from Recycled MLP:

  • Plastic boards and tiles

  • Outdoor furniture

  • Roofing sheets

  • Road construction material (as binder)

7. MLP Waste Market Overview

Parameter Details
India’s Annual MLP Waste ~3 million tons
Global Concern Major contributor to ocean plastic
Recycling Rate Very low (<10%)
Government Push EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility)

Recent Trends:

  • Rise in MLP collection drives by brands

  • Innovation in MLP-compatible recycling tech

  • Use in circular economy models

8. Buy & Sell MLP on Plastic4trade

Plastic4trade connects stakeholders in the MLP recycling ecosystem:

  • Post inquiries for MLP waste or scrap

  • Sell collected, baled, or processed MLP waste

  • Connect with recyclers, manufacturers, co-processors
