ZSM-5 was prepared by seed-assisted method from an organic-template-free system.
Seed based on liquid solutions lead to samples with enhanced textural properties.
A conversion value very close to 100% was achieved in the cracking of LDPE at 420 °C.
Generation of gaseous olefins (C1–C5) was favored.
Synthesis method advantageous from the environmental and economical points of view.
