YORKSHIRE Packaging Systems (YPS) has announced it is now offering a 98% recycled content, fully recyclable PE (polyethylene) flexible film, used for shrink wrapping and bagging applications.
The film is a blend of high-grade recycled materials and is available in a range of sizes. It is also available in a choice of colours or can be printed in up to 12 colours for enhanced branding or to create impactful marketing messages.
“This new material contains the highest level of recycled content of any flexible film on the market,” said Josh Gibson, YPS sales director. “For our customers, this means a reduced environmental footprint by virtually removing the use of virgin material. Not only that, but due to the film’s high quality, the material thickness can be reduced, lowering overall plastic use by up to, and sometimes more than, 15%.”
The material holds two independent certifications which validate its sustainable qualities: ISCC PLUS certification from the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) system; and the Plastica Seconda Vita (Plastic Second Life) certification from the Italian-Based IPPR (Institute for the Promotion of Recycled Plastics).
“As a supplier of both equipment and materials for automated packaging processes, YPS is ideally placed to advise our customers on how their whole packaging system can be designed to reduce material consumption or use more sustainable materials to achieve their own sustainability goals,” added Josh Gibson.
