In today’s packaging world, the talk it seems almost everywhere is of sustainability. With the rising pressure on businesses to be more environmentally friendly, knowledge of the various options in sustainable packaging solutions is imperative. With more applications turning to stretch film for unitizing, palletizing and product security; the decision between a recyclable formula or a compostable option brings companies that much closer to minimizing their environmental impact. Shanghai Pudi Packaging Materials Co., Ltd. is leading this trend by innovating stretch film solutions that are both high performing and enable a circular economy.
Understanding Recyclable Stretch Films
Recyclable stretch wrap film are made to be collected, recycled and remade into new products after they have fulfilled their primary purposes. This category is largely comprised of films made from polyethylene, which can readily be ground and shaped into new products in a recycling program. The greatest advantage of utilizing a biodegradable stretch film is that its ability to divert waste from landfills. Businesses are tapping into a closed loop where materials are reused again and again. Shanghai Pudi Packaging Materials Co., Ltd. specializes in producing high-performance recyclable stretch films for retaining loads securely, puncture resistance/cling and 100% compatible with all existing recycling solutions. This enables customers to meet their operational requirements and sustainability goals at the same time.
Compostable Stretch Films
Compostable stretch films are another end-of-life options. These tired materials are specifically designed to completely decompose in commercial composting facilities into nutrient-rich compost, and not create harmful byproducts. Compostable vs. Biodegradable Unlike conventional plastic films, compostable ones are often made from biodegradable polymers that break down only under certain conditions. They are a great solution to applications which include organic waste channels or where the packaging has an access route into a controlled composting environment. Although this technology is still under development, Shanghai Pudi Packaging Materials Co., Ltd. has been devoting and investing in green parts and the compostable stretch film recipes/resources. The product is intended to represent a viable solution for markets and customers concerned with full biodegradability and integration into organic cycles, without foregoing the needed strength and flexibility for transportation/storage.
Making the Responsible Choice
Whether to use recyclable or compostable stretch wrap comes down to your individual business requirements and recycling capabilities. Recyclable films are a good option for businesses who have access to established polyethylene recycling streams and who want to support material circularity. Compostable films, on the other hand, work well for an organization that has industrial composting available to them and is dedicated to no plastic/no waste. Shanghai Pudi Packaging Materials Co., Ltd will be with you in this choice. By providing two paths, the company is ensuring that businesses can choose a stretch film solution that not only protects their products in transit really well but also fits with employees and corporate environmental responsibility for a better future through packaging.
