The plastic problem

Reducing the plastic that makes it into our oceans is a cause that we can all get behind. Currently an estimated 18 billion pounds of plastic waste enters the world’s oceans each year – a sobering statistic which is made all the more alarming when you see the devastation that this can cause.

In short, plastic is killing our planet which is why, here at Packaging Innovations, we’re committed to reducing this figure in any way we can.

And, we might have even cracked it.

What is FiberFilm?

FiberFilm is a proven innovation in packaging technology. Hailed as a ‘game-changer’ by environmentalists and businesses alike, this material can provide a better level of pallet stability as the nearest competitor, but you’ll use far less – up to 60%, in fact. This not only cuts back on your environmental impact, but it’ll also reduces your annual cost-per-pallet.

What our trials show

We’ve been supplying FiberFilm for many years, continuously conducting trials to test the load-holding force and support that FiberFilm provides on everyday goods. We tested its efficiency on a number of different cargoes – from heavy drinks’ pallets to awkward furniture loads­ – and have found that it more than lives up to its promise.

Not only does the film provide an altogether safer pallet, it also required fewer rotations of the film, cutting back on time, plastic and, subsequently, cost.

Is FiberFilm recyclable?

The best part? It’s just clever LDPE! FiberFilm is 100% recyclable, so used film can be collected and recycled rather than sent to general waste.

At a glance, what does FiberFilm deliver?

  • Up to 60% less film per pallet
  • Superior pallet stability and load security
  • Suitability for a range of different load types
