Claimed to be IPG’s most sustainable polyolefin shrink film, ExlfilmPlus PCR features at least 10% certified post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and 25% certified post-industrial recycled (PIR) content.
The film utilises mechanically recycled post-consumer content, sourced from consumer plastic waste and recycled into new resin.
In addition, ExlfilmPlus PCR’s thinner gauges contribute to the reduction of material usage by up to 9%, further lessening its environmental impact.
The film is prequalified for store drop-off by How2Recycle, a standardised labelling system, and is also approved for certain direct food contact applications.
