Smart Plastic Technologies Sustainability Actions

Expanded stretch film production

In partnership with Smart Plastic Technologies, Sigma Stretch announced today they are expanding the production of Sigma Stretch VANISH, powered by SPTek ECLIPSEâ„¢ bio-assimilation technology, to all five production facilities across North America. The initial launch of this product, which was rolled out to selected Sigma Stretch distributors in late 2021, generated tremendous interest from brand owners who wanted to take action towards their sustainability goals.

Launched ECLIPSE stretch film

The Smart Plastic team is tremendously proud to partner with long-standing industry leader Sigma Plastics Group on a number of important sustainability initiatives. Our latest collaboration with Sigma Stretch was the development of a range of ECLIPSEâ„¢ enabled hand and machine stretch films. We successfully launched ECLIPSEâ„¢ Stretch Film at Pack Expo 2021 in Las Vegas, and presented at the 2021 AMI Stretch & Shrink Conference on the impact of plastic waste and closed-loop recycling.

Tested film performance

The initial launch of Sigma Stretch VANISH followed a period of intense efficacy and performance testing that determined ECLIPSEâ„¢ enabled stretch films performed identically to the original products.

Provided recycled content guidance

At Plascon, recycled content is approached with the same rigour as any of our other high-performance materials. That means evaluating resin behaviour, adapting tooling strategies, and validating performance before scaling production. We fully support sustainability initiatives and work diligently to assist clients in achieving their environmental impact goals.
