July 17, 2020, Vancouver, B.C. – good natured Products Inc. is expanding its commercial product assortment to include pallet stretch wrap made from 51-per-cent plant-based flexible film.

The company says the global stretch and shrink film market, including pallet stretch wrap, is expected to grow by $4.91 billion from 2019 to 2023. The food and beverage sector is one of the key drivers behind the growth, and preference for eco-friendly, bioplastic materials is creating a unique market opportunity for expansion.

good natured® has customized and sourced plant-based machine and hand pallet stretch wrap in a range of the most popular gauges for the North American market. The products are made from 51-per-cent plant-based materials derived from renewable sugarcane and are chemically equivalent to conventional #4 LDPE to make the transition for businesses as seamless as possible.

“With our growing list of food producers and supply chain providers as customers, pallet stretch wrap is a natural addition to our product assortment that lets them extend their environmental commitment from the products they produce, to how they’re packaged and now all the way to how they’re shipped and stored,” said Paul Antoniadis, CEO of good natured®.
