Yuhong produces a sustainable stretch film series that incorporates post-industrial recycled (PIR) content. The product is designed to reduce virgin plastic consumption while maintaining load stability in pallet wrapping applications. The company has manufactured stretch films since 2008.
The sustainable series is available across Yuhong's stretch film portfolio, including hand wrap, machine wrap, and specialty films. Recycled resin is blended with virgin LLDPE during extrusion to produce films with performance characteristics similar to standard grades.
The recycled content ratio can be adjusted according to customer requirements. The following table lists typical parameters for the sustainable film series.
| Parameter | Typical Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Material base | Virgin LLDPE + post-industrial recycled (PIR) resin | Recycled content ratio: 10%–50% |
| Film thickness | 17–30 μm | Customizable |
| Film width | 100–500 mm | Suitable for hand or machine use |
| Tensile strength (MD/TD) | ≥26 MPa / ≥22 MPa | Internal test data |
| Puncture resistance | ≥11 N | ASTM D5748 reference |
| Clarity | Good to high | Suitable for barcode scanning |
Full technical data sheets are available upon request.
Sustainable films are formulated to provide holding force, puncture resistance, and stretchability comparable to standard stretch film. This allows users to switch to recycled content without changing wrapping equipment or process settings in most cases.
Production follows documented quality control procedures, including incoming resin inspection, in-process monitoring, finished roll testing, and pre-shipment inspection. The quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015.
Compliance documents such as EU RoHS test reports from SGS and SOI performance testing from GALAB Laboratories can be provided for applicable products and markets.
The film is used in logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing environments where pallet loads need to be secured for storage or transport. The recycled content does not affect the film's suitability for automatic wrappers, semi-automatic lines, or manual application.
The post-industrial recycled content can be supplied between 10% and 50%, depending on film grade and end-use requirements. Higher ratios may require additional validation for specific applications.
The tensile strength, elongation, and cling properties are formulated to match standard film performance. Users should verify the film on their own equipment with sample rolls before full adoption.
Yes. The film is produced to standard roll dimensions and core sizes, making it compatible with most automatic pallet wrappers. Specific machine settings may need minor adjustment.
Recycled content ratios are controlled during material blending. Supporting documentation, including batch records and third-party test reports, can be provided to customers upon request.
Yuhong operates its own stretch film extrusion lines in Xiamen, with an annual production capacity of approximately 5,000 tons. International sales are handled by the company's foreign trade subsidiary. Products are supplied to distributors, converters, and industrial users in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
