Cortec’s new innovative Eco Film™ and Eco-Corr® Film were developed in partnership with the Department of Bio-systems and Agricultural Engineering at the University of Minnesota. Cortec has adopted product responsibility practices that accomplish greater use efficiency during the manufacturing process, consumer use, and disposal of their products. The films possess excellent resistance to water, oils and oxygen while providing superior tensile strength. Eco-Corr has the additional attribute of VCI corrosion inhibiting control for metal parts and machinery.

Under European take-back laws, packaging that negatively impacts another country’s recovery systems is fined or returned. Manufacturers must join and pay fees to a collection organization that enforces strict European recycling laws now costing packagers $10 billion per year. More than 28 countries have "producer responsibility laws" on their books. Export packaging that doesn’t meet global standards is fined, or sent back to US landfills. Domestic standards are no less stringent. For those seeking global and national access, disregarding laws with unacceptable packaging results in high fines and even prosecution.

Manufactured by a company with ISO 9000 and ISO14000 certifications, the eco-conscious Eco Film and Eco-Corr Film eliminate toxins and hazardous disposal. The films are not just recyclable, but non-toxic, biodegradable and compostable. Their natural decomposition into harmless molecules of air and water provide a responsible packaging alternative. There are no more passports to global and national markets for manufacturers whose packaging is harmful to land and man.
