The reduction of plastic is currently one of the most important topics all over the world. Legal measures are now even demanding the restriction and partial ban on single-use plastic. That's why we developed a fully fiber-based packaging material for form-fit pallet wrapping to replace strech films.
Since our paper has a higher fiber strength, less material is needed per pallet than a thinner plastic film with lower tear strength, of which more is needed to wrap a pallet for sufficient protection. The same weight of packaging material is produced - even though our material is slightly heavier than conventional stretch film, less of it is required due to its high tensile strength.
As a cellulose fiber material, WIN offers a negative PCF of -0,27 kg CO2/ kg, as cellulose binds CO2 before processing. Plastic film has an average PCF of 2.2 kg CO2/ kg, emitting CO2
(Modelling was carried out in Sphera LCA for Experts (Cradle-to-gate) & data from Sphera)
This clearly shows the negative impact plastic stretch films have on the environment. We are therefore even more proud that we have developed a product that helps companies to reduce their carbon footprint and support them in their climate strategies with our sustainable single-stretch alternative.
For the easy handling of our WIN - Wrap It Naturally packaging material we engineered it to be usable on conventional turntable, automatic and hand wrappers.
With WIN's high adaptability to different wrapper technologies we are able to offer a material that can easily replace plastic stretch film in practice. The different tests successfully demonstrated the material's ease of use, flexibility, adaptability, and resilience under different conditions.
Depending on the thickness of the grade, there is a small adjustment that requires a fixation of the end, for which there are various solutions on the market that allow you to upgrade your wrapper with an adhesive tape application or a glue applicator.
Our fiber-based packaging is completly made from certified cellulose fibers, being a 100% natural alternative to plastic stretch films. This makes it a fully sustainable stretch in material without any chemical or synthetic components.
As our WIN material is made entirely from sustainable components, it can be recycled in the waste paper stream. This saves additional disposal effort and costs that would occur with plastic stretch films.
For additional protection our paper-based packaging can be equiped with a water-repellant, plant-based saturation. Due to its 100% natural composition, the water-repellent coating has no impact on the recyclability of the paper. The coating has no influence whatsoever on the adhesion of the paper, which means no changes in application or handling.
The combiantion of elongation and strength provides a very tight pallet wrapping. The rough surface does not need additional glueing during the wrapping process.
With our excellent stretch in machine direction of up to 20%, you can pack your products in a way that keeps them securely in place on the pallets for safe transportation.
As WIN material is made out of 100% cellulose it is fully printable and can be printed with all kind of printing technologies.
This enables our customers to brand their packed pallets with their logo or print additional transportation information on our wrapping paper.
Our "Wrap It Naturally" solution is fully recyclable and can therefore be returned to the recycling loop adding new value. As it consists of 100% natural fibers without synthetic components, our "Wrap It Naturally" solutions can be completely recycled with the wastepaper after usage.
The water-repellent coating does not affect the recyclability of our paper either, as it consists of 100% natural components. This means that the entire product remains natural in its composition and therefore has a very low CO2 footprint compared to conventional stretch films.
Based on the fact that no recycled fibers can be used in the production of our paper in order to guarantee tear resistance means that "Wrap It Naturally" is of very high value as a secondary material for reprocessing in the recycling cycle.
The carbon footprint of our stretch film alternative is around 45% lower than that of conventional plastic stretch films with a half-recycled share. Embrace the future of packaging with our eco-friendly, weather-resistant solution.
As we meet the Eumos standard for safe transportation with our "Wrap It Naturally" solutions, you don't have to compromise between protecting your goods and preserving the planet.
