PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Why specify ES-CF-01
PLA compostable cling film in the industry-standard 30cm x 300m roll format that fits existing countertop dispensers and film cutters with no equipment change required. Uses inherent PLA crystallinity for cling performance rather than migrating plasticizers (DEHA/DEHP), so there
The differentiator is the drop-in transition. Kitchens and food processors can switch from PVC or LDPE cling film without changing dispensers, workflows, or staff training.
Where it sits in our range. ES-CF-01 is the entry-point sustainability upgrade in our cling film category.
When not to specify it. If you require maximum elasticity for wrapping irregular shapes (e.g., produce, baked goods), the PBAT-containing ES-CF-02 or ES-CF-03 provide significantly higher elongation at break.

USE CASES
Applications
Commercial Kitchens & Catering
Primary cling film for food prep, plating, and cold storage — standard roll format fits existing kitchen workflows without training or equipment changes
Supermarket Fresh Departments
Wrapping fresh produce, cheese, deli items, and bakery goods in certified-compostable film — meets municipal organics diversion requirements
Food Processing & Co-Packing
Continuous wrapping for production lines — 300m roll length minimizes downtime for roll changes in high-throughput operations
HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
Not suitable for microwave reheating or hot food wrapping above 50°C — PLA softens above its glass transition temperature (~55–60°C). For hot food applications, consider our heat-stabilized products. Industrial compostable only — PLA alone does not meet OK Compost HOME requirements due to slower ambient-temperature degradation kinetics. Maximum cling performance at 20–30°C; cling decreases significantly below 5°C.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does PLA cling film compare to PVC in terms of cling and stretch?
At equivalent gauge (12μm), ESINLE's PLA cling film achieves 85–90% of PVC cling strength and approximately 95% of PVC elongation at break. For most food service applications — wrapping bowls, covering trays, bundling produce — the difference is not noticeable in daily use. For applications requiring maximum cling (meat wrapping, very irregular shapes), consider our PLA+PBAT blend (ES-CF-04) which achieves cling parity with PVC.
Is PLA cling film safe for direct food contact?
Yes. PLA is FDA-approved for food contact (21 CFR 175.300) and meets EU Regulation 10/2011 for plastic food contact materials. Unlike PVC film, our PLA formulation contains no plasticizers that could migrate into food — the cling property is an inherent material characteristic, not an additive effect.
What composting certification does this product carry?
EN 13432 (OK Compost INDUSTRIAL) certified by TUV Austria. Industrial composting degrades the film within 90–180 days at 58°C+. For home compost certification, our PLA+PBAT blend (ES-CF-04) passes OK Compost HOME due to the lower glass transition temperature of the PBAT component enabling ambient-temperature enzymatic activity.
