Short answer.

Recycled content stretch film can help reduce virgin polyethylene use, but it must still meet the load's containment, puncture and consistency requirements. Virgin film may be preferred for demanding high-stretch or sensitive applications. Ask whether the recycled material is PCR, PIR or a blend, what percentage is included, and what documentation is available. Always trial the film before replacing an established pallet wrap program.
