B-NAT Bio-based Shrink Film

YPS are the first UK suppliers of bio-based PE shrink film (B-NAT) which has been developed by Bollore. This film shrinks at the highest free shrink ratio of any film on the market for improved presentation and also seals and shrinks much faster and at considerably lower temperatures than any film currently available. This in itself has considerable environmental benefit. An advantage of this specialist film is the potential reduction in the many thousands of tonnes of polyolefin shrink film that ends up in landfills every year. Our B-NAT film, consists of more than 40% of a polythene produced from sugarcane ethanol. Ensuring that the film has a minimal impact on the enviroment through reduced dependancy on fossil fuels, whilst being fully recyclable to level 4 LDPE, meaning it can be recycled at household level. Statistics show that the vast majority of polyolefin shrink produced today still ends up in landfill and so our B-NAT is the first polyolefin material in the world to address this issue. Our B-NAT film has been designed to cope with the ever demanding applications of high speeds which are continuing to get faster as technology advances and demands increase and therefore is a perfect fit for our high quality machinery and compliments the first class backup and support which we offer. B-Nat® is available in a thickness of 15µm, flat or centerfolded. Information on printed B-Nat® can be obtained on request. B-NAT was shortlisted for the 'Environmental Initiative of the Year' award at PPMA Industry Awards 2018. B-NAT was a finalist for 'Plastic Product Of The Year' in the 'Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2019'.
