Revolutionary Biodegradable 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 Biodegradable 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.
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.

FAQs
1.What is Biodegradable Shrink Film?
Biodegradable Shrink Film is an eco-friendly packaging material designed to decompose naturally under specific environmental conditions. Unlike traditional shrink films made from conventional plastics, this material is engineered to reduce its environmental footprint while providing effective product protection.
2. How does Biodegradable Shrink Film benefit the packaging industry?
Biodegradable Shrink Film offers multiple benefits to the packaging industry, including:
- Sustainability: Reduces dependency on non-renewable resources and minimizes waste generation.
- Compliance: Supports adherence to environmental regulations and corporate sustainability goals.
- Improved consumer trust: Aligns with the increasing demand for environmentally sustainable packaging solutions.
3. What materials are used to make Biodegradable Shrink Film?
Biodegradable Shrink Film is typically made from materials such as polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), polylactic acid (PLA), or other plant-based or compostable polymers. These materials are selected for their ability to break down safely and efficiently in natural environments or controlled composting conditions.
4. Is Biodegradable Shrink Film safe for food packaging?
Yes, Biodegradable Shrink Film is safe for food packaging when manufactured under stringent quality control measures. It is designed to meet international food safety standards, such as FDA and EU regulations, and does not leach harmful substances into food products.
5. How long does Biodegradable Shrink Film take to decompose?
The decomposition time of Biodegradable Shrink Film varies depending on the environmental conditions. Under industrial composting conditions (high heat, moisture, and microbial activity), it can take approximately 3 to 6 months. In natural environments, such as soil or marine settings, decomposition times may vary significantly.
6. Can Biodegradable Shrink Film be recycled or composted?
Biodegradable Shrink Film is generally not compatible with traditional recycling streams but can be composted in industrial composting facilities. Specific disposal guidelines depend on the type of biodegradable material used and local waste management infrastructure.
7. What industries use Biodegradable Shrink Film?
Biodegradable Shrink Film is widely used across industries, including:
- Food and Beverage: Wrapping perishable goods, bottles, and containers.
- Retail and Consumer Goods: Packaging for personal care items, books, and toys.
- Pharmaceuticals: Securing medical devices, supplies, and consumables.
8. How is Biodegradable Shrink Film applied to products?
Biodegradable Shrink Film is applied using standard heat-shrink methods. It is placed around the product or package, and heat is applied using shrink tunnels or heat guns. The film then contracts to form a secure, tamper-evident seal around the product.
9. Does Biodegradable Shrink Film provide the same protection as traditional shrink film?
Yes, Biodegradable Shrink Film is designed to offer protection comparable to traditional shrink films. It provides a tight seal, guards against moisture and contaminants, and ensures product integrity during transportation and storage. However, performance specifications may vary slightly depending on the product’s requirements.
10. What factors should I consider when choosing Biodegradable Shrink Film?
When selecting Biodegradable Shrink Film, consider the following factors:
- Product Requirements: Determine the level of protection, transparency, and sealing needed.
- Environmental Conditions: Assess the disposal environment (composting or landfill).
- Compliance: Ensure the material meets relevant regulatory and quality standards.
- Cost and Supply: Evaluate cost-effectiveness and secure a reliable supplier with proven manufacturing capabilities.
Application Equipment: Verify compatibility with existing packaging machinery.
