Compostable Stretch Wrap Film

Stretch wrap or stretch film is a highly stretchable plastic film that is wrapped around items. The elastic recovery keeps the items tightly bound. In contrast, shrink wrap is applied loosely around an item and shrinks tightly with heat.

It is frequently used to unitize pallet loads but also may be used for bundling smaller items. Types of stretch films include bundling stretch film, hand stretch film, extended core stretch film, machine stretch film, and static dissipative film.

In pallet unitizing, a stretch wrap can have several functions:

• improved stability of products or packages, forming a unit load
• more efficient handling and storage of unit loads
• some degree of dust and moisture protection
• some degree of tamper resistance and resistance to package pilferage
• some degree of sun protection (UV stretch wraps)
• extend the shelf life of certain foods

Making sure boxes stay on the pallet and properly aligned is an important consideration in warehouse distribution, especially as the demands for increased throughput continues to rise.

The opaque stretch film offers a variety of advantages over clear stretch film. A few advantages include:

1. Detours pilferage through valuable shipments by concealing products.
2. It helps to protect products from UV Rays.
3. Prevents damage caused by rain, dew, and dust.
4. Outlasts regular clear stretch film during extended outdoor storage.
5. Great for color-coding products.

Our shrink wrap and stretch film recyclable and biodegradable? are their biodegradable materials?

Both shrink wrap/film and stretch film/wrap are recyclable and biodegradable. Check with your local recycling center.

Yes! there are two types of fully biodegradable materials.
1.100% whole bio-corn starch can be used to compost and degrade resin. The starch can be re-granulated by combining with biodegradable bio-based materials, which can be used for blown film and injection molding. This film is a translucent beige. It is tough, soft, but feels moister, like silk. Tensile properties, blown film technology close to LDPE. After being used, it is buried in the soil or composted in a microbial environment, and 100% of it is completely degraded into carbon dioxide and water in 3 months, becoming organic fertilizer and returning to nature. This material will only degrade under conditions of microbes and moisture. It can be stored for 1 years if it is placed in a warehouse with sealing. 

2. PLA, also known as polylactic acid, is a resin obtained by fermenting starch into a lactic acid monomer and polymerizing the monomer. Through the research and development of our company, we can make the blown film and injection molding. The blown film is colorless and transparent and has a good hand feeling. After use, it is buried in the soil or the compost is 100% all degraded into carbon dioxide and water in the environment of microbes for 3-6 months to become organic fertilizer. Back to nature.
