Boat Wrap Producers Launch Statewide Recycling Program: Wrap Recycle Right-- Give Your Boat Wrap a Second Life
St. Paul, MN — September 1, 2025- Minnesota has implemented the nation’s first Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program for boat wrap recycling. The Wrap Recycle Right program, established under the Minnesota Boat Wrap Stewardship Law (Minn. Stat. § 115A.1146), requires boat wrap producers —including manufacturers, brand holders, importers, and distributors—to take full responsibility for the collection, recycling, and proper disposal of their products.
“Through Wrap Recycle Right, we’re launching a statewide effort to divert plastic film boat wrap from landfills and transform it into new materials through dedicated recovery systems,” said Kelsey Pigneri, Chairperson of the Commercial and Industrial Flexible Film Organization (CIFFRO), the nonprofit stewardship organization founded by boat wrap producers to create, fund, and operate the program.
Participating producers (and founding members of CIFFRO) in the newly formed Wrap Recycle Right Boat Wrap Stewardship Program include Dr. Shrink (Dr. Shrink brand) and Poly-America, L.P. As founding members of CIFFRO, they are committed to supporting Minnesota’s first statewide boat wrap recycling network.
The program will feature a strategic rollout of collection sites and a comprehensive public education campaign designed to be both efficient and impactful. Success will depend on collaborative partnerships with collection sites, transporters, recyclers, and active participation from Minnesota’s boating community. The Minnesota Boat Wrap Stewardship Law (Minn. Stat. § 115A.1146) was introduced by Representative Larry Kraft and signed into law by Governor Tim Walz in May 2024.
**Beginning September 1, 2025, the law prohibits the use, sale, or offering boat wrap for sale in Minnesota unless the producer responsible for that brand participates in an approved stewardship plan.
Dr. Shrink, Inc. is approved to sell in Minnesota!
A complete list of producers participating in the program can be found on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) website.
Preparing for Collection
Before dropping off materials at collection sites, participants will need to remove all non-recyclable materials, including:
- Nylon strapping
- Buckles
- Vents
- Zipper access doors
- Other non-recyclable attachments
Stay informed about the Wrap Recycle Right program and upcoming collection opportunities by visiting WrapRecycleRight.org. The website includes details on participation and information for becoming an authorized collection location. Collection site listings will be available soon.
