One Decision.
Zero Permanent
Footprint.
Every operating day across North America, 50,000 industrial pallets are secured in petrochemical LLDPE stretch film engineered for a 7-day transit window—yet chemically sentenced to poison the biosphere for 500 years.
For procurement directors and Vice Presidents of Supply Chain, choosing Auraloop is neither an operational gamble nor an expensive luxury. It is the single most decisive procurement action to physically eliminate fossil plastic at source—achieving certified pallet stability with zero unit-cost penalty.
North American industrial film discarded without recovery.
91% incinerated or landfilled due to dust & label contamination.
High elongation lowers film weight per pallet wrapped.
ASTM D6400 certified biological decomposition.
The 5-Million-Tonne Blindspot in Modern Supply Chains
While consumer retail faces intense scrutiny over single-use bags and plastic straws, commercial warehousing operates on a massive, unacknowledged fossil dependency: linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) stretch film.
35 Million Tonnes Dumped
North American municipal landfills receive 35,000,000 tonnes of plastic packaging waste every year (EPA & ECCC data). Pallet film makes up the single largest commercial share by volume.
The 9% Recycling Myth
Despite green recycling arrows printed on virgin film boxes, warehouse stretch film is contaminated with adhesive shipping labels, forklift road grit, and moisture, causing recyclers to discard 91% directly into incineration or landfills.
Microplastic Infiltration
Discarded LLDPE does not disappear. Mechanical shear and solar radiation break film into sub-micron particles clinically detected in human bloodstream, pulmonary tissues, and marine food webs.
The 180-Day vs. 500-Year Divergence
Drag the milestone timeline to inspect the physical transformation of certified bio-polymers versus fossil petrochemical film over time.
Complete Soil Assimilation
100% metabolized by naturally occurring microbial organisms into water, carbon dioxide, and rich organic biomass. Zero chemical residues, microplastics, or eco-toxicity.
Indefinite Landfill Stagnation
Polymer backbone remains intact. Under mechanical shear and ultraviolet exposure, begins shedding invisible microplastics into surrounding leachate and groundwater.
Sustainable Doesn't Mean More Expensive. Here is the Math.
The historic roadblock to enterprise bio-packaging has always been price per roll. Auraloop solves this not by cutting corners on resin, but through molecular cast pre-stretch engineering (up to 550% elongation). When a roll stretches further without necking or tearing, each pallet requires fewer ounces of film.
