Whatever your environmental goals, we’re here to play our part and help you towards a more eco-friendly pallet operation. Let’s do it together.
More and more businesses are realising the impact of plastic on the environment. And customer awareness of green issues is at an all-time high too.
With people increasingly concerned about the sustainability of their packaging, we’re doing our bit to reduce plastic wherever we can – and we can help you do the same.
Whatever your green ambition – from cutting plastic waste to going carbon neutral – iWrap has a complete program of initiatives to support your organisation.
Our ongoing commitment to reducing our environmental impact is shown in our certifications and membership of sustainability communities.
If you would like to find out more, our CSR Policy includes all the great work of our team.
Most stretch film is made from LDPE, a 100% recyclable thermoplastic.
So, as well as wasting less plastic overall, the packaging you’re shipping to customers helps them reduce their carbon footprint too.
Using sustainable packaging has always been important to us. From FSC®-certified recycled boxes, to swapping plastic tape for paper, our customers receive parcels from us that are 100% eco-friendly. Right down to the paper document wallet.
We also aim to make it easier for customers to reuse or recycle our packaging themselves.
To make the most of precious resources, we recycle and reuse as much as possible. Each year, we recycle:
(These figures cover the year from April 2021 to March 2022.)
By combining iWrap high-performance stretch film and pallet wrapping machines, you’ll not only transform your pallet operation. We guarantee you’ll reduce plastic waste and cut costs.
Many of our customers use the savings they make on using less plastic wrap to help finance a new pallet wrap machine.
Gaining faster, more efficient new technology for even more savings.
Just as we are all on our journey to using more sustainable products, pallet wrap has also developed greener credentials.
From the original PVC products which required huge amounts of plastic to wrap pallets to the development of single layered films with modest stretch capability – to where we are now with multi-layered, thin high performance film which makes it possible to use much less wrap and therefore reducing waste.
The new high performance films are next generation products have intelligence built-it with the ability to programme individual properties into the separate layers of film depending on the type of products being shipped.
Each layer can have its own function such as puncture resistance, added cling and stretch.
In response to the Plastic Packaging Tax, high performance film offers the very best sustainable option on the market right now. Even though iWrap has 11 layers of film, it is incredibly thin and strong meaning less plastic is needed on every pallet wrapped. Combined with a 300% stretch capability which ‘locks-in’ loads again means you need less plastic to secure your goods in transport.
High performance films are now available with recycled content which is another progressive step to even greater sustainability.
As the world becomes more environmentally conscious, the demand for sustainable pallet wrap is expected to grow. Businesses that adopt sustainable packaging solutions will be well-positioned to succeed in the years to come.
