Revolutionary Packaging Technology
Biodegradable shrink wrap represents such an amazing product in sustainable packaging innovation. This advanced shrink film delivers reliable performance like traditional options, while being environmentally responsible. Our eco-friendly shrink wrap decomposes naturally, reducing plastic waste in landfills and lowering environmental impact.
Manufactured from plant-based materials such as PLA or PBAT, our biodegradable****film breaks down using microbial consumption, converting into biomass, natural gases, and organic compounds—without harmful residues. Please note: the biodegradation process may vary depending on environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and presence of microorganisms.
Advanced Decomposition Technology
Our tested eco-friendly films are laboratory-verified to decompose naturally through biological processes. The material attracts microbes, which digest the polymer and break it down into soil and natural gases. Our formulations achieve breakdown rates of 20.8% within 183 days in landfill conditions.
Compostable variants meet ASTM D6400 and EN13432 standards, suitable for commercial composting environments. This supports a circular economy and helps minimize plastic package waste. Used biodegradable shrink wrap can be collected after use for composting or recycling, further reducing waste and supporting resource conservation.
