We produce eco-friendly stretch film, which is made from recycled raw materials.
We collect all the offcuts that are generated during film production and process them into regranulate.
We use waste heat from the production line to warm the water up.
Environmental pollution and the growing consumption of energy and natural resources pose a serious threat to the future of our planet. Implementing a zero waste philosophy in business and daily life helps change the world for the better.

The environment is of utmost importance to us, so out of concern for it, we have launched a closed-loop film challenge - the first such project in Poland! We strive to ensure that our customers produce 0 kg of stretch film waste. How will we implement this? Our plan is to collect used film and recycle it, which is part of the closed-loop film process.
CAST brand film is created with standards to reduce the environmental load. What distinguishes us is our innovative approach - most of the films we offer have been produced through patented, proprietary manufacturing solutions.
The closed-loop stretch film is to produce, use, recycle and reuse it. The undoubted advantage of using eco-friendly stretch film is both caring for the environment and the ability to save money. Innovative packaging methods are one of the best ways to support the planet.
The recycling of plastics, with a high content of stretch film, produces regranulate. Its production begins with careful cleaning and drying of the waste. The components are then ground and additionally dried to prevent moisture from entering, which could adversely affect the entire recycling process. They go into a machine equipped with filters to obtain the intended product properties - such as elasticity or tear strength. The specification of the regranulate is determined by the primary material.
Used stretch film is collected from warehouses, distribution centers and other companies that use it in their operations. It is then processed using a regranulation technique. The film thus produced, with slightly altered parameters, is again ready for distribution. This has a positive impact on the environment, as well as maintaining good and lasting relationships with contractors.
A product created using regranulate - the film is fully ready for recycling. It shows good tear resistance. It saves a lot of money while providing high efficiency. With EKO film, you will save money, without losing the quality of packaging, and join the people who care about the state of the environment.
Agricultural film, which was made from about 20% recycled raw materials. It is available at an attractive price, while maintaining excellent parameters. Wrapping haylage with this type of film provides protection from adverse factors, making it possible to obtain high-quality feed for farm animals.
The idea of zero waste is mainly based on reducing waste production and not wasting resources. This initiative prompts companies to follow rules that will put as little environmental load as possible. Unfortunately, nowadays we are facing increasing climate problems, the consequences of which are already known - melting glaciers, desertification of many areas, extinction of species of various kinds of organisms. Companies should take all possible steps to reduce the negative impact of human activities on the environment.
Forecasts indicate that the stretch film market could grow by as much as 4.7% between 2022 and 2030. Further growth will be determined by increased raw material prices, among other factors. It is also closely related to the increase in consumer awareness of healthy lifestyle. This means that the stretch film market, focused on achieving reliability and durability of packaging, will require technological advances that enable the implementation of environmentally friendly solutions.
