The transition to more sustainable packaging solution is a crucial step in reducing the ecological footprint. Stretch film with an addition of 30% recycled material, such as Tallstretch PCR (Post-Consumer recycled), offers an innovative solution that combines the benefits of environmentally friendly material use with maintaining quality and performance.
We at Tallpack are happy to explain the advantages, as well as possible disadvantages, and the importance of good advice and transparent CO₂ calculations, so that we make steps together towards more sustainable packaging process.
Benefits of Wrapping Film with 30% Recyclate
- Reducing the environmental footprint
The use of 30% recycled material in the production of stretch film significantly reduces CO₂ emissions compared to conventional films. This contributes to achieving sustainability goals and reduces the dependency on virgin polyethylene (PE), which reduces the pressure on primary raw materials. - Sustainability without compromising on quality
Tallstretch PCR retains the same elastic and strength properties as conventional films. This makes the stretch film reliable for transport and storage without compromising on the protection of the goods. This proves that environmentally friendly alternatives do not have to have a negative impact on quality.
- Concrete environmental benefit and communication to the customer
By choosing film with recycled material, companies can strengthen their sustainable image and meet the growing demand for environmentally conscious packaging options. Emphasizing this choice to customers contributes to the transparent communication of a sustainable commitment.
Disadvantages and Challenges
- Potentially higher production costs
Stretch film with recycled material can be slightly more expensive to produce due to the additional steps in the recycling chain and quality control. This can mean a slight increase in costs, depending on the demand and availability of recyclate.
- Availability of high-quality recycled material
To guarantee the same quality and sustainability, the availability of high-quality recycled material is essential. Fluctuations in the supply of recycled material can affect the availability and price.
- Limited biodegradability
Although the film has a lower CO₂ footprint due to the recyclate, it is not biodegradable. This means that the breakdown in nature is still slow and waste management remains important to minimize the environmental impact.
Importance of Good Advice and Transparent CO₂ Calculations
- Tailor-made advice for optimization
To get the most out of this sustainable film, good advice is crucial. By analyzing how much film is needed per product and which application is most effective, unnecessary material use can be reduced. For example, using thinner layers of film can often be sufficient while maintaining protection, which saves extra material. - Transparent CO₂ footprint calculation
An accurate calculation of CO₂ emissions and savings through the use of recycled materials enables companies to gain insight into their real impact. Transparency in the calculations and documentation of CO₂ footprints offers the customer the opportunity to substantiate their choice for sustainable packaging.
Conclusion
Integrating Tallstretch wrapping film with 30% recycled material offers significant environmental benefits and strengthens companies’ reputation as sustainable market players. Strategic advice and transparent CO₂ calculations enable companies to make a well-considered choice that offers both economic and ecological benefits. Together, we are taking an important step towards a more sustainable packaging process and making a concrete contribution to a circular economy.
With these steps we can play a leading role in promoting sustainable packaging solutions and work together on a future-proof packaging policy.
