EcoShrink® Compostable Film

Product Description

EcoShrink® Compostable Shrink Film is a specialty shrink wrapping film designed to make the “circular economy” a reality while meeting common packaging needs. EcoShrink® is certified industrially compostable and designed for use in standard heat shrinking applications. Users of EcoShrink® can shrink wrap their small or large components as normal for a streamlined fit conforming to the shape of the object. After use, EcoShrink® can be disposed of in a commercial composting environment to reduce the amount of plastic packaging that normally ends up in a landfill.* EcoShrink® is shelf and curb stable and will retain its integrity until disposed of properly.
