Why PCR in Stretch Hoods?

The future of transport packaging is being reshaped by sustainability. Under the upcoming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the use of 35% PCR
in transport packaging will become mandatory by 2030. Stretch hood films, used at the end of high-volume petrochemical production lines, must meet the highest standards of film tolerances and homogeneity. The integration of PCR adds a new level of complexity, demanding even tighter control over all production and quality parameters.
Our OPTIMEX II is designed for these challenges by delivering superior melt homogeneity, signature film tolerances, and precision-controlled processing – ensuring reliable performance even with high PCR content. We thoroughly validated this film in demanding real-world conditions. The result: Stable load security after enduring the equivalent of 700 km (435 miles) of rough transport at 50°C (122°F) – matching the performance of conventional stretch hood films with 120 µm.
