Smurfit Westrock replaces polythene stretch film with recyclable kraft paper, reducing CO2<\/sub> and helps companies to make their supply chains more sustainable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Packaging manufacturer Smurfit Westrock has developed a 100 per cent paper-based alternative to the polyethylene stretch film normally used to stabilise pallet loads during transport. The global market for stretch films was estimated at USD 4.27 billion in 2023<\/strong> and is expected to grow significantly. The new paper-based pallet packaging from Smurfit Westrock helps companies to make their supply chains significantly more sustainable.<\/p>\n

The solution is made from Nertop Stretch Kraft paper, which is fully recyclable. Its properties also include high energy absorption and strong performance in humid conditions.<\/strong> Pallet wrapping is the latest addition to Smurfit Westrock's Better Planet Packaging portfolio, which aims to reduce the environmental impact of packaging.<\/p>

Encirc, a leading glass supplier from the United Kingdom, which over three billion containers annually<\/strong> was the first company there to use the new paper packaging.<\/p>\n

Peter Ball, Head of Planning at Encirc: \u201eSustainability is at the heart of everything we do and it's encouraging that 85 per cent of our beverage customers say that our sustainability credentials made them choose us. We know, how important supply chain solutions are for all our business partners<\/strong>. To this end, Encirc has worked with Smurfit Westrock to replace single-use plastic with a paper alternative, which is a first for the UK glass and bottling industry.\u201c<\/p>\n

Jemma Jones, National Account Manager at Smurfit Westrock: \u201eTraditional stretch film is still the first choice for many companies, but our paper-based alternative does just as good a job<\/strong> and is much easier to recycle at the end of its useful life.\u201c<\/p>\n
