Global packaging solutions provider Boxon AB has recently launched a new biobased stretch film concept REBORN, which is based on Scandinavian pine oil developed from residual pine products and produced in Sweden. Stretch film is used to protect goods against various factors such as moisture and dust, while at the same time securing goods on the pallet to minimize damage and complaints during transport.
According to a statement, the company’s existing standard range already contains several high-quality stretch films, which means reduced use of resources. Now the range is further expanded with two products that the company says are completely carbon-free: a machine stretch film in 15my with stretch up to 340 percent and a hand stretch film in 7my with reinforced edges.
It is very positive to be able to offer a green alternative in stretch films, said Mikael Jonsson, Product Specialist at Boxon.
REBORN has all the features that Boxon’s other range of stretch films have. In addition, REBORN is fully recyclable together with other plastics in e.g. unpacking of goods. The goal of the new bio-based stretch films is to reduce the carbon footprint even more without compromising load stability. REBORN also has exceptionally good optical properties so labels are easily visible and readable.
