Transformative biodegradable packaging: A story of customer collaboration

It may not sound like a lot, but a quarter of a millimeter is a significant competitive advantage in the world of shrink film.
Read MoreOur customers often come to us with unique challenges. They push us to innovate and think outside the box, driving our commitment to sustainable solutions.
So when a customer—who ships thousands of packages per day—asked how they could reduce the environmental impact of their courier bags, we were inspired. This challenge aligned perfectly with our ongoing efforts to develop more sustainable packaging alternatives.
We worked with our biodegradable resin supplier to engineer a film that could be reused as a compost bin bag. This innovative approach required extensive research and testing to ensure the material met both shipping and composting requirements. Not only was the "mailing house" shipping biodegradable packages but they were also getting a product that was fully functional for secondary use by their customers. This dual-purpose design significantly enhanced the product's value proposition and environmental impact.
Learn more about the journey we took with one of our customers to create a product that suited their vision for multiuse biodegradable packaging.
Remember, the compost bin isn’t your only option.
You can use our biodegradable film in many consumer packaging products including cups, plates, cutlery and more. And we can work with you to make we’re creating value for you and your customers.
