Intec Bioplastics creates customer incentive program

In California, Intec Bioplastics has created a customer incentive program to collect used stretch wrap film and stretch wrap cores from its customers for recycling. 

The program offers customers an economic solution to extended producer responsibility legislation while reducing customer costs for Stretch Wrap Films.  Launched earlier this year, Intec’s Hercules Bioflex Stretch Wrap Films are plant-based and recyclable.

“The stretch wrap segment commands approximately 56% purchase of machine stretch wrap rolls and 40% purchase of hand stretch wrap rolls,” Intec said in a press statement.  “Furthermore, there are over 250 million stretch wrap cores that are discarded after use and going to landfill every year in the United States. Stretch wrap cores cannot be recycled with regular cardboard due to the hardness and the glue that is used in the cores.”
