Are your stretch films truly "sustainable?"
With an ever growing, industry-wide emphasis on guaranteeing circular supply chains and reducing the use of plastic materials, it is critical for businesses that invest in transit packaging materials to focus on wholly sustainable solutions.
Film manufacturers are now incorporating recycled plastic materials into their production lines in order to offset the UK plastic packaging tax and contribute to operational sustainability.
While most films do contain recycled plastic, it is frequently sourced from within the manufacturing process as scrap and sent to a reprocessing centre for reforming. However, this is not true post-consumer plastic waste (PCW). This is referred to as pre-industrial waste. The idea behind using post-consumer waste was to reduce the amount of material going to landfill by incorporating it back into products.
To support their green credentials, brands, companies, and products that are truly committed to reducing plastic waste, reducing their carbon footprint, and becoming more circular must consider using genuine PCW products.
"Excelerate only uses genuine post-consumer recycled plastic in their manufacturing facility, never compromising product performance."
Excelerate has worked tirelessly to source genuine, verifiable, and traceable post-consumer plastic waste for use in their films, all while offering the thinnest, best-performing solutions on the market. Our stretch films have been analysed and tested within the most extreme packaging and logistical scenarios to ensure that they perform dependably in all situations - without increasing the thickness of materials and thus increasing your plastic usage, which from an environmental point of view would be a step backwards.
In addition to solid films, Excelerate provides specialist PCW breathable pallet wrap to manufacturers who require product ventilation for improved temperature control, moisture elimination, and gas release.
Excelerate has the ideal solution if you are committed to reducing your plastic waste and looking for truly "green" pallet wrapping materials.
