Reduce plastic and waste in industrial packaging

Technical review of film, MicroForce Film, coreless formats and alternatives to reduce plastic and waste in industrial packaging.

Plastic and waste reduction - Logipack Logipack

Operational issue

What should be reviewed

Plastic reduction should not be approached only by lowering gauge. Prestretch, core, stability, roll format, application and breakage waste also matter.

A technical review can detect real margin without creating more transport incidents or rework.

Technical analysis

Context before choosing material.

Less plastic does not always mean lower cost

If gauge reduction causes more turns, more breaks or rejected pallets, the operation may consume more resources even if the roll looks efficient.

Useful reduction lowers weight or waste while maintaining stability and operational continuity.

Possible improvement levers

There may be room in technical lower-gauge film, prestretch, coreless formats, machine adjustment, better wrapping pattern or more precise selection by load type.

Separate goals: reduce plastic applied, reduce core waste, improve recyclability or reduce incidents.

How to run a responsible trial

The trial should compare consumption per pallet, stability, breaks, application time and transport behavior.

Without those data, any saving promise would be weak. Start from current consumption and the problem to correct.

Avoid false environmental savings

Using less plastic per pallet is positive only if it does not increase breaks, returns, repackaging or product waste.

Measure the full operation: material applied, waste, incidents, stability and ease of use.

Alternatives worth comparing

Depending on the case, compare MicroForce, prestretched film, coreless, Bio, application adjustments or a combination by load type.

Not all loads should migrate to the same material. Segmenting by weight, stability and route helps reduce without oversizing.

Recommended products

Logipack families that may fit.

MicroForce Film and lower-gauge films

In suitable applications they can reduce packaging weight per pallet while maintaining sufficient containment.

Coreless, Bio and prestretched options

Adjusting core, composition, prestretch and format can help reduce waste or adapt packaging to internal goals.

Technical considerations

Useful data before requesting an alternative.

  • Measure current consumption, gauge, turns, incidents and generated waste.
  • Avoid lower-gauge changes that increase breaks, returns or repackaging.
  • Separate plastic reduction, core reduction, technical film and logistics improvement.
  • Validate coreless, prestretched film or lower thickness by load, route and application.

How we work

From the problem to the format that fits your operation.

Logipack reviews the application, current material, load, volume and use conditions before proposing an alternative. The goal is to adapt packaging to the operation, not replace one product with another without context.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Can plastic be reduced without losing stability?

It may be possible depending on load, application and current consumption. Review data before promising a result.

Does MicroForce Film suit every load?

Not every load. It is interesting when lower thickness still maintains the required containment level.

What matters more: gauge or prestretch?

Both matter. The right combination depends on machine, operator, pallet, weight and route.

Does reducing the core count as waste reduction?

It can reduce operational waste, although it is different from reducing plastic applied to the load. Measure both separately.

When should gauge not be lowered?

When the load is already near its stability limit, has many edges, demanding routes or the change increases breaks and rework.

Technical packaging review

Share consumption, gauge and current waste.

We will review whether lower gauge, technical film, coreless or prestretched film makes sense for the load.
