All of our films are 100% recyclable, so they can easily be returned back to their original state to be remade into polythene again. This has a positive impact on film usage and the environment, and helps to reduce carbon footprint.
We also manufacture oxo-degradable films that break down under certain conditions of exposure to sunlight, moisture and oxygen to help with our commitment for a greener, more environmentally friendly world.
The outcome of this is we contribute and help to improve efficiencies and reduce the environmental impact across our product cycle and have a positive effect on carbon foot print worldwide.
