Canopy™ Wrap - Atlantic Packaging

REPLACE SHRINK FILM IN TRAY & SHRINK BUNDLING

Making the switch to the most sustainable packaging possible sometimes requires a creative twist on traditional packaging solutions. When it comes to shrink bundling for bottles and cans, the only component typically preventing the bundle from being fully curbside recyclable is the shrink film.

With Canopy™ Wrap, you can now move to a curbside recyclable bundle. This solution replaces PE shrink film with a curbside recyclable fiber wrap for bundling applications.*

*Up to 77% of the fiber in this wrap is recoverable based on industry standard pulping processes.

THE PROBLEM WITH PLASTIC POLLUTION

The largest use market for plastics is packaging. In 2018, about 36% of all primary production of plastic was used for packaging. And consumer destined single use plastic packaging that has a short “in-use” life can last for decades or centuries if leaked into the environment or if it ends up in landfills.

We want to be good stewards of the planet. And we, in the packaging supply chain, are in a position to have a major role in making decisions that impact our planet in positive ways. We can find and promote recyclable alternatives to consumer destined single use plastic packaging.

This is our vision for Canopy™. This is how we make the shift toward packaging solutions for a healthy planet.
