Less plastic on every pallet, measured.
Across a large operation, every unnecessary layer of film is multiplied by every pallet, every shift and every site. We weigh how much film your pallets really use, by hand and on the wrapper, find where it can safely come down, and prove it on your own line, in tonnes, not estimates.
Film weight per pallet, yearly plastic tonnage and recycled content, measured on your loads and reported site by site.

Less plastic starts with wrapping it right first time.
The right film, used the right way, means less plastic, less tax and fewer loads that have to be rewrapped or replaced.
Three ways to cut your plastic footprint
Use less
Thinner, stronger films hold the same load with less plastic. Fiber Film’s reinforced design can cut the plastic on each pallet by up to 60% by weight, and an INNOV8 wrapper’s 300% powered pre-stretch makes every metre of film go further.
Use recycled
Films with recycled content use less new plastic. Our products contain 30% recycled content.
Recycle what’s left
We can collect your used stretch film for recycling, instead of it going to general waste.
What we look at
Everything that decides how much plastic your pallets need, measured on your own line.
| We measure | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Film per pallet | The weight of plastic on every pallet, weighed, not estimated |
| Pre-stretch | How far your film is stretched, so less plastic does more work |
| Film choice | Whether a thinner, stronger film would hold your loads |
| Recycled content | How much of your film is recycled plastic |
| Load stability | So using less plastic never means failed loads |
| Used film | How much film waste you produce, and whether it can be recycled |
Free, with no obligation. Most benchmarks take a single visit.
- On your site, on your own line
- Your current film benchmarked first
- Alternatives trialled side by side
- A written report on cost and stability
- Sale-or-return trial order
We only quote savings we can measure. Every reduction in your report is weighed on your own pallets, so you can stand behind it in your sustainability reporting.
What you can report
Plastic per pallet
The weight of film on every pallet, before and after any change.
Yearly tonnage
Total plastic used each year, for each site and for the whole business.
Plastic avoided
The tonnes you no longer use, measured rather than modelled.
Recycled content
How much of the film you buy is recycled plastic.
The 30% line
Which of your films fall below 30% recycled content, the point at which Plastic Packaging Tax is charged.
Daily data from your wrappers
With an INNOV8 wrapper, VisionFlex Cloud reports consumption and carbon every working day.
Who it helps
From the sustainability report to the shift on the wrapper.
Sustainability leads
Measured plastic reductions you can report, in tonnes, site by site.
Procurement
Lower-plastic options compared on cost per pallet, not price per roll.
Operations and site directors
Less film without weaker loads, and one standard on every site.
Finance directors
Less plastic, and less Plastic Packaging Tax built into your film price.
Running several sites? We hold stock for you, deliver to every site, and report usage site by site, so your best site’s results become the standard everywhere.
Close the loop on used film
Using less plastic is the first step. Making sure the film you do use doesn’t end up in general waste is the next.
- We can collect your used stretch film for recycling, instead of it going to general waste.
- Keep used film clean and separate from other waste, so it can be recycled.
- Choose films with recycled content: our products contain 30% recycled content.
- Report the plastic you use in tonnes, site by site.
Estimated vs measured
Sustainability claims are only as good as the numbers behind them.
| Estimated | Measured | |
|---|---|---|
| Film per pallet | Guessed from what you buy | Weighed, pallet by pallet |
| Recycled content | Often unknown | Shown for every film trialled |
| Plastic Packaging Tax | Hidden in the price | Shown, and reduced |
| Load stability | Assumed | Tested before any change |
| Used film | General waste | Collected for recycling |
| Reporting | Estimates | Tonnes, site by site |
Plastic Packaging Tax
30% recycled plastic is the line.
Plastic packaging with less than 30% recycled plastic is taxed at £228.82 per tonne from 1 April 2026. Film with at least 30% recycled content, and less plastic per pallet, both reduce its impact.

Questions we get asked
How much plastic could we save?
It depends on your loads and how you wrap today. Your benchmark weighs the film on your pallets before and after any change, so you see the saving in kilograms per pallet and tonnes per year.
Can you recycle our used stretch film?
Yes. Polyethylene stretch film can be recycled when it’s kept clean and separate from other waste, and we can collect your used film for recycling. Ask us how it would work for your sites.
Why does 30% recycled content matter?
Because Plastic Packaging Tax is charged on plastic packaging with less than 30% recycled plastic, at £228.82 per tonne from 1 April 2026. Film with at least 30% recycled content isn’t charged, and it uses less new plastic too. See GOV.UK.
Can we report the savings?
Yes. Your report gives film weight per pallet and yearly plastic tonnage, measured on your own line, and we report usage site by site. With an INNOV8 wrapper, VisionFlex Cloud also reports consumption and carbon every working day.
What does the benchmark cost?
Nothing. It’s free, with no obligation, and your trial order is sale-or-return.
