The chlorine-free shrink bags market is experiencing rapid growth, with projections indicating a revenue surge into the hundreds of millions between 2025 and 2034. The chlorine-free shrink bags market is likely to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. Chlorine-free shrink bags are a green packaging material that does not have chlorine-based compounds, which makes them a safer alternative to typical PVC shrink films. These bags are frequently made-up of polyolefin materials and provide outstanding transparency, durability, and shrink qualities while lowering the risk of toxic emissions during production and disposal. 25% more bags may fit in a box that lowers the need for corrugated materials, shipping expenses as well as warehouse space.
These bags provide a broader sealing window and better seal quality, sealing reliably and cleanly at lower temperatures. They are commonly utilized in food packaging, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and other applications, delivering a long-term alternative that fulfills regulatory requirements and rising customer demand for environmentally responsible packaging.
Recent Developments by Key Market Players
- In August 2020, Sealed Air produced chlorine-free vacuum shrink bags to assist food manufacturers and merchants increase food safety while also advancing the circular economy. A carefully chosen variety of resins are used to create the CRYOVAC brand OptiDure Bags (ODF4005), which provide a highly protective chlorine-free EVOH barrier to prolong shelf life, minimize waste, and protect food during distribution, storage, and retail. According to the US-based provider, the advanced generation of multilayer, coextruded shrink bags reduces the overall packing weight by more than half, allowing operators to cut their carbon footprint by up to 39% when compared to regular bags.
- In December 2020, Amcor introduced Eco-Tite R in Europe, a newly developed recyclable, PVDC-free shrink bag for freshly processed meat, poultry, and certain cheeses. Amcor Eco-Tite R may be recycled in the current polyethylene (PE) plastic recycling streams and is made to maximize shelf life, preserve food safety, and minimize food waste. This implies that more people will be able to take advantage of longer-lasting food while recycling the packaging of the products.
