HYBRID SHRINK FILM (Fancywrap HIT)

Hybrid shrink film is a three-layer co-extrusion new technology that combines the advantages of PS and PET. The shrinking material suitable for multi-color printing with high shrinkage. It can make your products more valuable with great shrinkage of shapes and curved bottles.

  • GEOPLAS HCI3 type is an environmentally friendly hybrid shrink film with a recycled material ratio of 30%.

    It has both polystyrene and polyethylene terephthalate advantages such as excellent shrink appearance, perforation suitability, heat resistance, content resistance and stiffness.

    GEOPLAS HCI3 type is widely used globally as shrink labels for PET bottled beverages, foods, cosmetics, home & personal care products and other products.

Mass balance approach

The mass balancing approach is when a raw material with certain features (e.g., chemical recycled raw material) is mixed with a raw material that does not have certain features (e.g., petroleum-derived raw material) during processing and distribution from raw materials to products.

It distributes the raw material with specific features to a part of the product according to the input amount of the raw materials with the specific features.

The mass balance approach-based products require a third-party certification to avoid arbitrary decisions by companies.

By depolymerizing and monomerizing waste plastic-derived raw materials through chemical recycling, and by combining 100% recycling features according to the input amount during repolymerization, it becomes a “raw material which the recycling effect is combined.”

By 2030, we aim to provide 100% recycled film by establishing technologies and recycling schemes to break down and reuse plastic waste for the circular economy.
