Sustainable stretch film for securing pallets

As a manufacturer of stretch film rolls, Hoogstraten is looking for ever better and more environmentally friendly materials and solutions worldwide. Pallet wrap film or stretch film for palletizing is a product that has to meet very high standards. Thereby is load securing for pallet transport bound by guidelines and EU-rules.

In addition to good elongation properties, the film must also be very resistant to tearing, point loading, durability and weatherconditions. It is therefore yet too complex to develope a completely environmentally friendly pallet wrap film of sufficient quality. However, recently there have been new opportunities in this area.

Partly (60%) made from recycled plastic

In addition to the bio-based stretch film (> 50% green PE), Hoogstraten can now also supply a stretch film made from recycled material. And with the same properties as a standard stretch film. Not fully sustainable yet, but with 60% regeneration. This means that almost 2/3 of the basic material granulate comes from waste separation. A considerable saving in fossil raw materials. This is already an important step into our mission of making a completely ecological, environmentally friendly stretch film. Of course, this Environment-film is 100% recyclable with normal plastic waste. The "Environment" stretch film is colorless / clear transparent.
