Mongolia has started manufacturing polyethylene (PE) stretch and shrink film, using domestically recycled raw materials.

Of the 50 factories in Mongolia that manufacture PE bottles and stretch and shrink films, 30 are currently operational. While for the new factory “Multipack”, which was opened on April 10, is the first factory that manufactures finished goods using domestically recycled raw materials.

“I would like to highlight the sustainable features of our factory. First of all, our factory filters its gray water 8 times and reuses it. Secondly, 30% of raw materials that we use in our production are recycled and thirdly, we consume four times less energy than other factories.” Executive director of “Multipack” LLC E. Tod-Od said. Our company was established in 2010 and in the past, we used to import raw materials from China, but now, with the commencement of this new factory, we are processing the raw materials domestically, he continued.

Processing the raw materials for polyethylene film production from domestic wastes will reduce not only waste but also imported polyethylene products.

The “Multipack” factory consists of two sections which are recycling and production and offers two types of products- stretch film and shrink film- to the market. They manufacture their products according to German technology, ensuring high quality.

“Multipack” purchases their wastes from customers, and then, recycles and reuses them in their further production. In other words, it is a zero-waste factory.

Some of their customers and partners took part in the New Factory Opening Ceremony and shared their impressions about their products and newly opened factory with us. One of them, a General Manager of “General Sky Mongolia” LLC P. Bolor-Erdene said, “We have been cooperating with the “Multipack” LLC for almost 10 years. We use their shrink films a lot. I think, one of the advantages they offer for their customers is the re-collection of their waste. For example, we collect shrink film rolls and sell them back to the factory. It gives us not only monetary benefits but also an opportunity to reassure our eco-friendly decisions. We would like to congratulate them on opening a zero-waste and eco-friendly factory.”
