Co-Developing 50% rPET Shrinkable Film and Obtaining the World’s First SCS Certificate

Co-Developing 50% rPET Shrinkable Film and Obtaining the World’s First SCS Certificate
SDG 12 RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTIONSDG 17 PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS

As the green revolution sweeps the globe, PVC packaging, which is difficult to recycle, is being phased out and replaced by PET, the more eco-friendly option. FENC has successfully developed the PET shrinkable film as an alternative. In recent years, the Company is diving even further with the development of rPET shrinkable films using recycled PET bottles, and the product is favored by major brands. In November 2023, FENC formed a partnership with Kao Taiwan (Kao) and created the 50% rPET shrinkable film, marking a significant step in the development of circular economy. During the collaboration, FENC and Kao joined forces and overcame technical challenges. The mutual trust and respect built during the process won FENC access to Kao’s production line and results from the joint testing, a testament to this close partnership. The development is based on the production process for FENC’s 30% rPET shrinkable film. After eight months of repeated testing between FENC and Kao, and continuous production calibration based on the test results, such as the heat control, FENC is able to dramatically increase the rPET content in the shrinkable film from 30% to 50%. Additionally, while rPET shrinkable films often differ in appearance from their virgin counterparts, this breakthrough eliminated such difference and cut carbon emissions drastically by 23.5% to 25%. This technology is the first in the world to receive the certificate from System Certification Services (SCS) and its applications will continue to be expanded to amplify its environmental contribution.
