Decowraps, a leading manufacturer of floral packaging, has debuted EvolveFlex™, a sustainable film made with 90% post-consumer recycled plastic. The product offers an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional floral packaging films that heavily rely on virgin materials.
“After witnessing the challenges faced in recycling plastic films in the US, we felt compelled to take responsibility for our sustainability initiatives,” explained Steven Tchira, CEO at Decowraps. “By incorporating recycled content into our products and actively replacing up to 90% of virgin plastics in the industry, we are making substantial strides towards achieving a circular economy.”
EvolveFlex™ offers a wide range of thicknesses and transparency options, meeting the diverse needs of the floral industry. It is suitable for various cut flowers and potted plant packaging options and is available in HDPE and CPP versions. The HDPE version is recyclable at store drop-off locations, keeping the material in the circular economy cycle, supporting sustainable packaging and recycling initiatives. This allows our customers to make an environmentally conscious choice while contributing to a more sustainable future.
In addition to its positive environmental impact, EvolveFlex™ generates social benefits by creating new sources of employment and income for at-risk communities through the collection and processing of recycled materials.
As a company dedicated to sustainability, Decowraps invests significantly in the research and development of eco-friendly packaging solutions. “We are thrilled to introduce EvolveFlex™, a high-impact, cost-effective sustainable option that maintains exceptional quality,” said Tchira.
