Focusing on the latest conversion and coex extrusion equipment, we will not only see a boost in output and a reduction in energy usage, but we will be able to ensure that we deliver even more thinner gauge films to our client base.
Demand for our Euro-lite pre-stretch and other thinner gauge films has never been so strong!

Can we avoid the PP TAX?
We have been working closely with key PCW resin suppliers to develop a product range which fully fits the 30% content criteria intended to avoid the plastic tax which is due for implementation during April 2022.
As we have always strived to produce thin gauge yet high performance and strong film products, it is noted that the PCW content required in our products is regarded as the most difficult PCW material to be processed.
However, research and development into the PCW content within our films has been successful at trial stage and we seek to roll out an initial and limited range of products in Q3.

The Plastic Tax is coming!
Our pre-stretch products are the ideal way to reduce your film use and now has never been the better time to make that leap!
While we are working on blends to satisfy the requirements to avoid the plastic tax, the Euro-lite range of pre-stretch products allows downgauging to ensure that you optimise the film already in use.
We will keep you posted on the PCW content in our blends but in the meantime, touch base with our team to explore the possibilities with Euro-lite Pre stretch today!
Raw Material Shortages!
A severe tightening of raw materials due to polymer producer plant outages, force majeures and global transportation logistical issues are causing a big problem.
The supply chain for raw materials is tight but luckily with our global reach we are managing to source our material requirements to keep our business moving.
Business as usual at Eurofilms!
