Compostable Shrink Film

About Compostable Shrink Film

Compostable shrink film is made from biodegradable materials, such as plant-based polymers (PLA, PBAT, or PHA), which are derived from renewable resources like corn starch, sugarcane, or potato starch. These bioplastics replace traditional fossil fuel-based plastics, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and environmental harm.

Key Benefits:

1. Compostable: Easily decomposes into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass, eliminating plastic waste.

2. Biodegradable: Breaks down naturally, reducing environmental persistence.

3. Renewable Resources: Made from sustainable materials, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

4. Low Carbon Footprint: Minimizes greenhouse gas emissions throughout its lifecycle.

5. Non-Toxic: Safe for food packaging and environmentally friendly.

Applications:

1. Food packaging (meat, seafood, produce)

2. E-commerce and shipping

3. Pharmaceutical and medical devices

4. Industrial packaging (tools, machinery)

5. Agricultural and horticultural packaging

Advantages Over Traditional Shrink Films:

1. Reduced plastic waste

2. Lower carbon emissions

3. Enhanced brand reputation through sustainable practices

4. Compliance with eco-friendly regulations and certifications (e.g., ASTM D6400, EN 13432)

5. Comparable strength and durability to traditional shrink films
