The method of claim 1, wherein the polyethylene of the second polymeric material has a polydispersity of from 2 to 20. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first polymeric material comprises polypropylene having a melt index of from 1.5 to 100 g/10 min determined in accordance with ASTM D 1238 at a temperature of 230° C. and a load of 2.16 kg. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising, prior to retrieving the rotomoulded article having asymmetrical layering, injecting a third composition comprising a polyethylene and a chemical blowing agent and submitting the mould to rotation about two perpendicular axes, wherein the retrieved rotomoulded article having asymmetrical layering has a foamed polyethylene layer as an innermost layer of the rotomoulded article. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the second composition has a melt index of from 0.5 to 30 dg/min determined in accordance with ASTM D 1238 at a temperature of 190° C. and a load of 2.16 kg. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the second composition has a density of from 0.920 to 0.965 g/cc determined in accordance with ASTM D 1505 at 23° C. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the first polymeric material is polyamide, and wherein the second polymeric material is a mixture of polyethylene, grafted polyethylene and ionomer. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the rotomoulded article is a car door having an outside part prepared from the outer layer, wherein the polyamide of the outer layer is painted, and wherein car door has an inside part prepared from the mixture of polyethylene, grafted polyethylene and ionomer. 13. A method for preparing a rotomoulded article having asymmetrical layering comprising: heating one or more portions of a mould that are not thermally insulated, wherein one or more portions of the mould are thermally insulated;injecting a first polymeric material in the mould and submitting the mould to rotation about two perpendicular axes, wherein said first polymeric material forms an outer layer of the rotomoulded article for the one or more portions of the mould that are not thermally insulated, and wherein said first polymeric material comprises: from 40 to 100 wt % of homopolymers or copolymers of ethylene and/or propylene, and/or polyamide, and/or functional fluoropolymer or a mixture thereof; andfrom 0 to 60 wt % of a functionalised polyolefin (FPO) or of a polyolefin (PO) grafted to a non-polyolefin (NPO) in the form of a block copolymer ((PO)g-NPO) or of an ionomer or a combination thereof;removing the thermal insulation;injecting a second polymeric material in the mould and submitting the mould to rotation about two perpendicular axes, wherein the second polymeric material is different from the first polymeric material, wherein said second polymeric material forms an outer layer of the rotomoulded article for the one or more portions of the mould that were thermally insulated during the injection of the first polymeric material, and wherein said second polymeric material comprises: from 70 to 99 wt %, based on the weight of said second polymeric material, of a polyethylene resin; andfrom 1 to 30 wt % of an ionomer, or from 1 to 30 wt % of a combination of an ionomer and a grafted polyolefin;retrieving the rotomoulded article having asymmetrical layering;wherein the mould is heated through ducts designed to be run through by heat-regulating fluid, said ducts being realised by grooves on external surfaces of the mould and wherein the one or more portions of the mould that are not thermally insulated are heated whereas the one or more portions of the mould that are thermally insulated are cooled down. 14.
