  Low density poly ethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene. It is mainly used in film applications for both packaging and non-packaging applications. LDPE is the oldest and most mature of the polyethylenes (PE). Low density poly ethylene (LDPE) offers high flexibility and superior resistance property, making it ideal to use across various end-use industries, such as packaging, construction, and automotive. Moreover, LDPE is widely used for the packaging of dairy products, sweets, snacks, and frozen/baked food products. The production cost of low density poly ethylene (LDPE) is almost ten times less than that of nylon, PET, and polystyrene due to the high availability of raw feedstock and large production volumes. Thus, there is an increasing demand for LDPE in various end-use industries. LDPE is one of the major materials used in the construction industry. Thus, with the rapidly growing construction industry, the demand for LDPE is also increasing. Accordin
