Sustainable shrink (wrap) film
Our Shrink Wrap is ideal for securely packaging bottles, cans, and beverage containers. This versatile LDPE film is available in various thicknesses (30µ to 80µ) and widths, with options for up to 100% recycled content.
To understand the strength and ecological impact of plastics, we must recognize our throwaway society. Investing in plastic reuse research is a step towards a sustainable economy,
Addressing global waste
Annually, 5 to 13 million tonnes of plastic end up in the oceans, contributing to significant environmental pollution. This issue underscores the importance of using recycled plastics to curb CO2 emissions. At Segers & Balcaen, we leverage our expertise to produce shrink wrap film from up to 100% regranulate, utilizing post-industrial and post-consumer materials.
Challenges and solutions
While using recycled materials poses challenges such as contamination, odor, and impact on transparency and mechanical properties, our advanced techniques and rigorous quality control ensure reliable and high-quality shrink wrap films. Our recent investment in a 5-layer extrusion machine and a lab extruder highlights our commitment to maintaining high standards.
Commitment to sustainability
Segers & Balcaen actively collaborates with the Flemish Government on circular economy projects, including recycling and bio-compostable granulate initiatives. With over five years of experience in producing regranulated film for industrial applications, we continue to innovate and refine our processes.
Eco-friendly commitment
Despite recycled plastics currently accounting for only 6% of Europe’s plastics demand, Segers & Balcaen is dedicated to advancing the circular economy through our specialized sustainable shrink wrap film. We invite you to challenge us with your packaging needs and join us in ensuring a greener future.
Shrink wrap for high-speed packaging
This LDPE film is supplied in rolls. By means of incineration, the film shrinks nicely around the products to be packed. Our shrink film has a wide welding range, which makes it perfectly processable in filling lines at high speed.
