Packaging without stretch film – the new standard

In the light of recent events, all of us are becoming more aware of the scarcity of global resources, as well as of unexpected interruptions in the procurement of goods and along the usual transportation routes.

In the light of recent events, all of us are becoming more aware of the scarcity of global resources, as well as of unexpected interruptions in the procurement of goods and along the usual transportation routes. Climate change has become tangible and environmental concerns are growing. Avoidance of waste, sustainability and recycling have become a key management issue in all kinds of businesses.

Packaging Without Stretch Film

Metalcolor has therefore – whenever possible – replaced the wooden separators between coils with cardboard ones. In fact, cardboard has been shown to have identical or even superior properties.

As a second step, we have reached out to you to reassess the need to wrap pallets with stretch film. A large majority of you agreed to stop wrapping pallets with stretch film, thus facilitating the recycling and/or disposal of packaging materials and reducing disposal costs. As you know, Metalcolor offers a wide variety of different packaging solutions. Please don’t hesitate to talk to us about your packaging specifications and possible changes.
