PCR-30 Stretch Film.
The transition to more sustainable packaging options is a crucial step in reducing our ecological footprint. Stretch film with a 30% recycled content, such as Tallstretch PCR30, provides an innovative solution that combines the benefits of eco-friendly material use with maintained quality and performance. We are pleased to highlight the advantages, potential drawbacks, and the importance of proper advice and transparent CO₂ calculations so that together we can take steps toward a more sustainable packaging process.
Advantages of Stretch Film with 30% Recycled Content
Reduction of Ecological Footprint
Using 30% recycled material in the production of stretch film results in a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to conventional films. This contributes to achieving sustainability goals and decreases dependence on new polyethylene (PE), thereby alleviating pressure on primary resources.
Sustainability Without Compromising Quality
Tallstretch PCR30 retains the same properties in terms of elasticity and strength as conventional films. This ensures that the stretch film remains reliable for transport and storage without compromising the protection of goods. This demonstrates that environmentally friendly alternatives need not have a negative impact on quality.
Concrete Environmental Benefit and Customer Communication
By opting for film made with recycled materials, companies can strengthen their sustainable image and meet the growing demand for eco-conscious packaging options. Highlighting this choice to customers helps communicate a commitment to sustainability transparently.
Disadvantages and Challenges
Potentially Higher Production Costs
Stretch film with recycled materials may be slightly more expensive to produce due to the additional steps involved in the recycling chain and quality control. This could result in a slight increase in costs, depending on the demand and availability of recycled content.
Availability of High-Quality Recycled Material
To guarantee the same quality and durability, the availability of high-quality recycled material is essential. Fluctuations in the supply of recycled content can impact both availability and pricing.
Limited Biodegradability
While the film has a lower CO₂ footprint due to the recycled content, it is not biodegradable. This means that decomposition in nature still occurs slowly, making waste management crucial to minimizing environmental impact.
Importance of Good Advice and Transparent CO₂ Calculations
Tailored Advice for Optimization
To maximize the benefits of this sustainable film, proper advice is crucial. By analyzing the amount of film needed per product and determining the most effective application, unnecessary material usage can be reduced. For instance, using thinner layers of film can often suffice while maintaining protection, thereby saving additional material.
Transparent CO₂ Footprint Calculation
Accurate calculations of CO₂ emissions and savings achieved through the use of recycled materials enable companies to demonstrate their actual impact. Transparency in these calculations and documentation of CO₂ footprints allows customers to substantiate their choice for sustainable packaging.
Conclusion
Integrating Tallstretch stretch film with 30% recycled content offers significant environmental benefits and enhances the reputation of companies as sustainable market players. Through strategic advice and transparent CO₂ calculations, businesses can make informed choices that provide both economic and ecological advantages. Together, we take a vital step toward a more sustainable packaging process and contribute concretely to a circular economy.
With these measures, we can play a leading role in promoting sustainable packaging solutions and work together towards a future-proof packaging policy.
