Small Business, Big Change: Why Switching to PCR Pallet Wraps Matters

Small Business, Big Change: Why Switching to PCR Pallet Wraps Matters

When it comes to running a product-based business, pallet wrap probably isn’t the first thing you think about when talking about sustainability. But what if the way you wrap your goods could actually help reduce plastic waste, support a circular economy, and show your customers that your brand stands for something greater?

At Pack To Work, we believe sustainable choices should be available — and achievable — for every business, no matter the size. That’s why we offer PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) Pallet Wraps: tough, reliable, and better for the planet.

Whether you’re hand-wrapping a few pallets a week or using machinery to pack large orders every day, our ReCree8® PCR Pallet Wrap range is here to help you ship smarter, with purpose.

What Is PCR Pallet Wrap and Why Should You Care?

PCR stands for Post-Consumer Recycled. This means the plastic used to make these wraps was previously in the hands of consumers, collected through recycling systems, and reprocessed into new, high-quality material — in this case, pallet wrap.

So instead of relying on new (virgin) plastic, PCR wrap gives existing plastic a second life — keeping it out of landfill and cutting down on the need to create more plastic from scratch.

It’s a practical solution with real environmental benefits — and small businesses like yours can lead the way by using it.

The Benefits of Switching to ReCree8® PCR Pallet Wrap

Whether you’re looking for ways to reduce waste, improve efficiency, or make your brand more eco-aligned, switching to PCR stretch wrap delivers on all fronts:

1. Recycled Content That Makes a Difference

Made using up to 50% post-consumer recycled plastic, our wraps help divert valuable materials away from landfill and reduce demand for fossil-fuel-based plastics.

2. Built to Perform Like Traditional Wraps

There’s no trade-off here. ReCree8® PCR wraps match (and often exceed) the performance of conventional wraps when it comes to stretch, cling, puncture resistance, and load stability — keeping your shipments safe during transport.

3. Lower Environmental Footprint

By using recycled plastic, we help lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduce raw material extraction, and support the shift toward a circular economy — where materials are reused, not wasted.

4. Showcase Your Brand’s Values

Today’s customers notice the little things. By choosing packaging with a sustainable story, you’re showing your audience that your business walks the talk when it comes to impact.

5. Designed for Efficiency

Our machine wrap options offer longer roll lengths, which means fewer roll changes, less downtime, and greater cost-efficiency — especially for growing operations.
