Biodegradable shrink wrap, also known as eco-friendly shrink wrap or biodegradable stretch wrap, is a sustainable packaging material that offers the same functionality as traditional shrink wrap while being environmentally friendly. It is designed to break down and decompose naturally over time, reducing its impact on the environment.
Biodegradable shrink wrap is made from plant-based materials like PLA (polylactic acid) or PBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate). These materials are derived from renewable resources and are compostable.
Some biodegradable shrink wraps are also compostable. They can be added to composting systems, breaking down into organic matter that enriches the soil.
biodegradable shrink film’s high mechanical strength can help in reducing the thickness of the film compared to conventional PE Film. The temperatrue of the shrinking tunnel can also be reduced significantly which helps in saving energy costs.
