Industries that have been waiting to add “greener” packaging materials to their normal packaging processes need to wait no longer! Cortec’s patent-pending Eco Wrap® commercially compostable stretch film is now available on the market as an excellent substitute for traditional polyethylene stretch wrap. Eco Wrap® can be used on most standard automated stretch wrap equipment to palletize goods for storage, inventory, or shipment. The only adjustment typically needed is to increase tension due to Eco Wrap’s extreme elasticity.

Eco Wrap® is specially designed by Cortec® Corporation to meet industrial stretch wrapping needs while allowing for final disposal in a commercial composting environment. It offers three key benefits:

• Uses less material without sacrificing strength
• Reduces conventional plastic waste
• Improves user’s environmental image

Forging a Path Toward Greener Packaging

By developing Eco Wrap®, Cortec® is forging a path that industries can follow toward “greener,” more responsible packaging methods. Made with certified compostable resin plus a tackifier additive, Eco Wrap® is designed to meet the ASTM D6400 standard for commercial composting so that after use, companies can send their discarded Eco Wrap® to the nearest industrial composting facility to be turned into soil amendment. In addition to serving as a responsible waste management practice, this may help users avoid tariffs, fines, and tip fees in areas where polyethylene is prohibited or restricted. Eco Wrap® is shelf and curb stable and will retain its integrity until disposed of properly.

Automated Stretch Wrapping in Countless Industries

Eco Wrap® is considered the first compostable stretch film that can be used on automated equipment—a must for efficient packaging in the warehousing and shipping industries. It can be used in countless stretch wrapping applications and is ideally suited for agricultural shipments such as hay bales and lumber. It is also a great option for wrapping pallets, corralling goods for shipment, wrapping luggage at airports, packaging construction materials, and transporting furniture in society’s seemingly endless moving and home furnishing activities. Eco Wrap® is so versatile that practically any industry can find a use for it.
