eatSafe Launches Eco-friendly PLA Shrink Film for Tamper-evident Packaging

In response to the growing market in the US for lower-waste product packaging, driven by consumers who are making environmentally-conscious purchasing decisions eatsafe offers an earth-friendly renewably-sourced PLA shrink film for your tamper-evident packaging process, called ecoSafe.

Origin of ecoSafe Film:

ecoSafe is a biodegradable polylactic acid film, commonly referred to as PLA. 
ecoSafe is derived from annually renewable resources, and it is manufactured using plant sugars to create a proprietary polylactide polymer.

Advantages of ecoSafe Film:

This material is far superior environmentally to oil-based PET, polyethylene, PVC and polypropylene films, which use 20-250% more non-renewable energy during production and produce 4-6 times more greenhouse gases during their life cycle.

Properties of ecoSafe Film:
eatSafe’s ecoSafe PLA film has several eco-friendly end-of-life choices which are environmentally-superior to all other plastics. 
ecoSafe can be composted in industrial facilities.
It can be incinerated with no volatile compounds (VOCs) and low residue created during burning. 
It produces 75% less greenhouse gas compared to oil-based PET products, even if the product ends up in a landfill.
