February 2025 Shrink Wrap News – from the Industry Leader, Dr. Shrink, Inc.

February Notes from Mike.

As we slowly inch closer into Spring season and warmer weather, I encourage all of you to look into recycling your shrink wrap covers to keep this premium plastic out of landfills.

We have a successful program in place in the state of Michigan (the Recycle Run), but for those of you outside of Michigan, keep in mind that shrink wrap is an easily recycled material that many recycling facilities will accept as long as all “contaminants” are removed (strapping, vents, zipper doors, etc.) and the cover remains fairly clean, dry, and loose. Our EZ-Fill REBAGs are the perfect storage solution for these used covers as they are extra large in size and come with a zip-tie closure device to keep water out. Please read through the section below for more information on recycling shrink wrap. Have a great month and thank you for working with us!

Warmest Regards,
-Mike Stenberg, President & CEO, Dr. Shrink, Inc.
