EnviroShrink Biodegradable Shrink Wrap

Dr. Shrink, Inc., the worldwide leader in shrink wrap film and installation supplies, is introducing EnviroShrink™, a new earth-friendly shrink wrap designed to deliver the same performance professionals count on while providing a smarter solution after disposal.

Built for everything from marine storage to industrial applications, EnviroShrink performs just like conventional film. The difference comes after the job is done and the film is ready for disposal.

During manufacturing, a proprietary additive is blended into the film. Once discarded and exposed to anaerobic environments such as those found in certain landfill conditions, the additive is designed to enhance biodegradation by naturally occurring microorganisms. Dr. Shrink’s EnviroShrink has been tested in accordance with ASTM D5511, a laboratory test method for measuring anaerobic biodegradation under high-solids anaerobic digestion conditions.

EnviroShrink landfill-biodegradable shrink wrap (equivalent material) was independently tested by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory, using ASTM D5511 to evaluate its anaerobic biodegradation under controlled laboratory conditions. Results showed 46% biodegradation in 60 days.
