LDPE ( Low Density Polyethylene) is a type of plastic often used in plastic bags and wrapping material that is captured as LDPE (4) in WikiWaste.
LDPE (4) (low density polyethylene) is a soft, flexible, lightweight plastic material. LDPE (4) is noted for its low temperature flexibility, toughness, and corrosion resistance[1]. It is not suited for applications where stiffness, high temperature resistance and structural strength are required. It is often used for orthotics and prosthetics. LDPE (4) has good chemical and impact resistance and is easy to fabricate and form[1].
