PVC shrink film, fully named Polyvinyl Chloride Shrink Film, is a kind of heat-shrinkable plastic film made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as the main raw material through specific processing techniques such as extrusion and blow molding.
It plays an important role in industries like the food and beverage industry, the daily necessities industry, the cosmetics industry, the electronics and electrical appliances industry, the toy industry, the hardware and building materials industry, and the pharmaceutical industry. However, since the PVC material itself contains chlorine elements, it is relatively weaker in terms of environmental protection performance. The disposal of its waste products needs to follow specific environmental protection requirements and procedures. In the natural environment, PVC is difficult to degrade. If it is discarded randomly, it will occupy land resources for a long time and may seep out some harmful substances, causing pollution to environmental elements such as soil and water bodies.
