Cortec Corporation has received the ‘OK compost INDUSTRIAL’ certificate from TÜV Austria. This certifies that the company’s Eco Wrap conforms to the criteria for industrial compostability under EN 13432 (European equivalent of ASTM D6400).
Eco Wrap is claimed by Cortec Corporation to be the world’s first compostable industrial strength machine grade stretch film.
The company comments that considering its longtime focus on compostable films and green packaging materials, this is a major step forward. Eco Wrap users can benefit from material/waste reduction in many ways. Eco-Wrap uses a certified compostable resin plus a tackifier additive to make an industrial strength compostable stretch wrap that can be used on most standard automated stretch wrap equipment.
This is a breakthrough for the industrial packaging and warehousing industries which rely heavily on automated stretch wrapping to prepare pallets of goods for storage, inventory, or shipment.
