Cortec® Awarded Patent for Industrially Compostable Stretch Wrap Technology!

September 7, 2023

Cortec® Corporation has been awarded a US patent for its commercially compostable industrial strength stretch film technology, also known as Eco Wrap® film! This patent is a significant milestone in Cortec’s ongoing quest to develop environmentally responsible products and distinguishes Cortec® as a leader in “green” packaging technology!

Eco Wrap® is a specialty wrapping film that meets the EN 13432/ASTM D6400 standards for commercial composting and was certified industrially compostable by TÜV Austria (#TA8012106218) in 2021. It is extremely elastic and suited for general machine stretch wrapping applications. It can be used to replace conventional plastic stretch wrap with the goal of improving the user’s environmental image and reducing conventional plastic waste when the material is properly disposed in a commercial composting environment. *

Eco-Wrap - Compostable Stretch Wrap®®®

  • Manufacturing: Countless raw materials and finished goods need to be placed on pallets and wrapped before storage or shipping. Items may include raw material drums, auto parts, computers, tools, wires, cables, carpets, and much more!
  • Online retail: Online shopping represents a growing market share of retail and is a natural consumer of stretch wrap for palletizing boxed goods. Companies can use Eco Wrap® in an effort to reverse their negative image of contributing heavily to plastic packaging waste. By using Eco Wrap® within their own supply chain, they will also have better oversight of making sure the film is disposed in the proper waste stream after use.
  • Agriculture: Firewood, lumber, hay bales, and other agriculture materials can be bundled and wrapped with Eco Wrap®.
  • Baggage and furniture handling: Eco Wrap® can be used to corral luggage at the airport or securely wrap furniture before loading it onto the moving van. These are two more applications where users have better oversight of disposal due to internal use.
  • Food industry: The food industry presents a major opportunity for palletizing cans, crates, bottles, cartons, and bags. Eco Wrap® can be used for stretch-wrapping in these countless bulk packaging applications where there is no direct contact with food.
