Biodegradable polyolefin Shrink Film (POF)

What is Biodegradable Polyolefin Shrink Film?

Biodegradable POF (Polyolefin) shrink film is a special type of shrink packaging quality that decomposes naturally over time, leaving very little environmental impact. Unlike conventional plastic, biodegradable POF breaks down when exposed to natural conditions like moisture, sunlight, and microbes.

At Regal Woven Sacks LLP, we manufacture biodegradable POF in thicknesses as low as 5 microns, suitable for high-speed packaging while maintaining environmental compliance.

Why Use Biodegradable POF Shrink Film?
  • 1. Complies with Government Guidelines – Under India's Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and Plastic Waste Management Rules, shrink films under 50 microns made from biodegradable material are often exempt with certain restrictions. Which makes them legally and environmentally ideal for packaging companies.
  • 2. Eco-Friendly and Safe – The film decomposes naturally, making it useful for brands committed to sustainability and reducing plastic waste.
  • 3. High Clarity and Performance – Even as a biodegradable product, our POF shrink films retain excellent transparency, seal strength, and shrink properties.
  • 4. Available in Thin Gauges (12 Micron & Above) – Helps you reduce material usage and cost, while still meeting all your packaging needs efficiently.
  • 5. Ideal for Automated Machines – Works seamlessly with L-sealers, sleeve wrappers, and shrink tunnels.
