Smurfit Westrock has produced a 100% paper-based alternative to the polyethylene stretch wrap which is commonly used to stabilise pallet loads in transportation.
The innovative new solution is made from Nertop Stretch Kraft paper which is fully recyclable. Its capabilities also include high energy absorption and strong performance in humid conditions. The pallet wrap is the latest addition to Smurfit Westrock’s Better Planet Packaging Portfolio which seeks to reduce the environmental impact of packaging.
Encirc, a leading glass supplier which manufactures over three billion containers annually, was the first company in the UK to use the new paper wrap.
The Better Planet Packaging paper pallet wrap is manufactured in Smurfit Westrock’s Nervión paper mill in Spain.
Smurfit Westrock is a global leader in sustainable paper and packaging, operates in 40 countries with over 500 packaging converting operations and 62 paper mills.
