Upstream:

  • If your products are not susceptible to moisture, consider removing shrink wrap and use only pallet strapping
  • Consider using returnable pallet covers (particularly suitable for warehouses with low automation)
  • If wrapping manually, use a wrapping machine instead
  • Use a pre-stretched plastic shrink wrap (wrapping machine must be suitable)

Downstream:

  • Collect separately plastic wrap and sell it to a recycler
