PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Why specify ES-SW-04
PLA+PBAT 50:50 biodegradable industrial stretch film designed for the broadest possible logistics adoption. At 500mm x 400m with 76mm core for machine application, it achieves 200% pre-stretch, 28 MPa MD tensile at 20u03bcm, and dart drop impact of 100g u2014 a performance profil
The balanced formulation is the key: dual OK Compost HOME and INDUSTRIAL certification provides maximum end-of-life flexibility for logistics operations serving regions with varying composting infrastructure. Adopted at 120 tonnes per year scale by a major European retailer for t
Where it sits in our range. ES-SW-04 is the general-purpose workhorse of our stretch wrap category, positioned for the broadest industrial adoption.
When not to specify it. If you need the absolute highest puncture resistance for irregular or sharp-edged loads, ES-SW-02 (100% PBAT) offers 30% higher dart drop impact.

USE CASES
Applications
General Warehousing & Distribution
The everyday pallet wrap for standard mixed-load pallets — sustainable upgrade with minimal workflow impact
Retail Distribution Centers
DC-to-store pallet wrapping for retail supply chains — compostable film that aligns with retail sustainability commitments
Food & Beverage Logistics
Pallet containment for food-grade shipments where film compostability adds value to the sustainability story
HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
200% pre-stretch is approximately 20% lower than premium LLDPE machine films (which achieve 250–300%). For high-volume operations accustomed to maximum pre-stretch ratios, this means slightly more film used per pallet — the sustainability gains are from material biodegradability rather than material reduction. For maximum pre-stretch applications, consider our 100% PBAT machine film (ES-SW-02).
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How close is pricing to conventional LLDPE stretch film?
At current production scale, our 50:50 PLA+PBAT film is approximately 20% more expensive than LLDPE of equivalent gauge. For context, on a per-pallet basis this premium is approximately 0.08–0.12 EUR per pallet wrapped — a modest sustainability premium that many logistics operators find acceptable. As our production scales (target: 500 tonnes/month by 2027), we project the premium will narrow to under 10%.
Do I need to change my wrapper settings?
For most machines, the settings are similar to LLDPE: pre-stretch 180–200%, wrap force 8–10 kg. The film has slightly higher elongation at break, so the pre-stretch carriage may need a 5–10% higher setting to achieve equivalent load containment. We recommend starting at your current LLDPE settings and adjusting based on load containment testing — the adjustment is typically minor.
Can the film be stored in an unheated warehouse?
Yes. Unlike some bio-based films that embrittle in cold storage, our 50:50 PLA+PBAT blend maintains flexibility down to -25°C (PBAT component) while the PLA component provides structural integrity. Rolls can be stored in unheated conditions. For application, film should be at 15°C or above for optimal pre-stretch performance — bring rolls indoors the night before use in very cold conditions.
