The problem is finally solved! Recyclable and reusable shrink film

With the continuous advancement of global sustainable development, the rational utilization of recycled resources has been increasingly concerned by brand buyers and consumers. Material reuse helps reduce reliance on non-renewable resources, reduce waste emissions and the environmental burden of waste disposal, and contributes to sustainable social development. Recyclable shrink film is also a major trend in current development. After recycling, it is produced into recycled plastics, which are typical environmentally friendly materials and are popular environmentally friendly products in the European and American markets.

With many European and American countries introducing new tax rules on plastic packaging, packaging bags with a regeneration rate of less than 30% will be subject to plastic tax. These new tax rules are also intended to stimulate the improvement of plastic waste recycling and collection levels, diverting it from landfills or incineration, which is a more environmentally friendly measure.

1. Comparison of two common shrink films on the market: PE & POF

Recyclable Shrink Film

PE shrink film is a very tough material with a wide range of applications. Because PE shrink film is soft and tough and not easily shredded, it is widely used in the packaging of whole sets of products such as liquor, canned drinks, mineral water, various beverages, fabrics, hangers, small appliances, and daily necessities. Products packaged with PE shrink film have good flexibility, strong impact resistance, tear resistance, are not easily damaged, are not afraid of moisture, and have a high shrinkage rate.

POF is mainly used for packaging products of regular and irregular shapes. Due to its non-toxic and environmentally friendly nature, high transparency, high shrinkage rate, good heat sealing performance, high gloss, strong toughness, tear resistance, uniform heat shrinkage, and suitability for fully automatic high-speed packaging, it is widely used in automotive supplies, plastic products, stationery, books, electronics, circuit boards, headphones, handicrafts, wooden products such as picture frames, toys, insecticides, daily necessities, food, cosmetics, canned drinks, dairy products, medicine, tapes, and videotapes.

Currently, the recyclable shrink film on the market mainly refers to PE shrink film. POF shrink film, because it is a co-extruded film of PP and PE, cannot be recycled.

2. Application Advantages of Recyclable Shrink Film

Shunxingyuan Packaging produces various shrink film products

High shrinkage rate. Shunxingyuan Packaging has formed a mature production line for GRS dedicated blown film machines, printing machines, bag cutting machines, waste recycling granulators, and various recyclable packaging bags. The GRS PE shrink film produced by Shunxingyuan Packaging is stable in quality, high in production efficiency, beautifully printed, moisture-proof, puncture-resistant, non-toxic, has good sealing and tensile properties, good texture, and is environmentally friendly. At the same time, Shunxingyuan Packaging has developed ultra-thin PE recyclable shrink film products that can fully match the shrinkage rate of POF, thus solving the problem of many users needing recyclable shrink film but being limited by existing shrink oven equipment, allowing POF shrink ovens to perfectly shrink PE shrink film. From single-layer 1.5 silk to single-layer 20 silk, these are all commonly produced recyclable shrink film products by Shunxingyuan Packaging.

High recognition. GRS certified recyclable PE shrink film allows plastics to be recycled, reducing the excessive exploitation of resources and environmental pollution. GRS can prove that PE shrink film can be recycled because GRS is a traceability certification, the most authoritative proof of recyclable packaging bags. All certified products have standard recycled material content labels, providing a reference for further recycling. It enhances the market competitiveness of enterprises in terms of "green" and "environmental protection" and is more easily recognized by enterprises with recycling capabilities.

Strong protective performance. Recyclable PE shrink film can provide surface protection for products, forming a light, protective outer layer around the product to achieve dust-proof, oil-proof, moisture-proof, waterproof, and theft-proof purposes. More importantly, PE shrink film ensures that the packaged items are evenly stressed, avoiding uneven stress that could damage the items, which is something that traditional packaging methods (bundling, packing, tape, etc.) cannot achieve.

Good cost savings. Using PE shrink film for product packaging can effectively reduce costs, with PE shrink film costing only about 50% of the original cardboard packaging. It can also reduce labor intensity, improve packaging efficiency, and enhance packaging quality.
