A multi-surface cable tie device includes a head member having an outer end and an opposed inner end, the head member defining an aperture having rectangular configuration and a channel defining a generally V-shaped configuration in communication with the aperture. The cable tie device includes an elongate tying strap that includes a base strip having a planar configuration that includes a proximal end adjacent the inner end of the head member and a distal end opposite the proximal end, the base strip having an elongate toothed portion mounted to an inside surface of the base strip. The toothed portion includes a generally triangular cross-section and having a plurality of teeth extending away from the base strip. The aperture is configured to selectively receive the base strip and the channel is configured to receive the toothed portion of the tying strap.

A novel thermoplastic baling wire suitable for baling waste destined for either recycling or for refuse derived fuel, having recyclable properties and good self-knotting properties comprises recycled thermoplastic material is polyethylene terephthalate comprising 6%2% by weight of polyethylene. A method of manufacture of said baling wire comprises preparing a masterbatch of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) including one or more multi-functional acrylic oligomers to obtain a modified recycled polyethylene terephthalate; combining said modified rPET with a phthalocyanine based nucleating agent; transitioning said modified rPET from molten to solid state; and extruding said modified rPET material into an elongate band.
