Autumn is the perfect season for outdoor picnics. This disposable plastic container for sandwiches, salad, and gimbap is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

HDPE is a hard and opaque material resistant to corrosion and moisture. It is highly hygienic and non-toxic, used widely for food packaging. It can be stored in the refrigerator at low temperatures with excellent impact resistance, and it is also microwavable with a heat resistance of 90 to 120°C. Thanks to these strengths, HDPE is used to make children's toys, milk bottles, food containers, cosmetic containers, industrial pipes, and waste bags.


LG Chem produces bio-balanced HDPE with biomaterials such as waste cooking oil and plans to make circular HDPE by chemically recycling waste plastics through pyrolysis.


At LG Chem, we connect science to every nook and cranny of life for a better future.
