Sustainability in packaging isn't about sacrificing performance.
It's about finding opportunities to reduce material use, incorporate recycled content, improve recyclability, and select packaging that performs efficiently throughout its lifecycle.
Sustainable Packaging Solutions
Better Packaging Starts With Smarter Material Choices
At Noble Films, we work with manufacturers, distributors, and packaging professionals to identify high-performance packaging solutions that can support both their operational and sustainability goals.
From water-activated tape and PCR films to Bolloré's BRi recycled-content shrink film, we offer options designed to help businesses make more responsible packaging choices without compromising product protection or performance.

A Smarter Way to Seal Corrugated Cases
Water-activated tape provides a strong, secure bond to corrugated cartons while offering an attractive option for businesses looking to simplify their packaging materials.
Sustainability advantages can include:
Paper-based construction
Strong carton sealing with efficient material use
Reduced reliance on traditional plastic carton-sealing tape
A secure, tamper-evident bond
Compatibility with automated and manual case-sealing applications
Simplified packaging for businesses working toward more recyclable shipping solutions
-
Give Plastic a Second Life
Post-consumer recycled (PCR) film incorporates plastic material that has already completed a previous lifecycle and has been recovered and reprocessed for use in new packaging.
Why consider PCR film?
Incorporates recycled plastic into new packaging
Reduces reliance on virgin resin
Supports corporate recycled-content goals
Helps create demand for recovered plastic materials
Provides an opportunity to improve packaging sustainability without completely redesigning an existing packaging format

Recycled Content. High-Performance Shrink.
BRi is an ultrathin, bi-oriented polyethylene shrink film containing 30% post-industrial recycled material. Recovered material is collected, regenerated, and repurposed back into the film, helping conserve resources and reduce waste while maintaining strong packaging performance.
BRi offers:
30% post-industrial recycled raw material
Exceptional strength and puncture resistance
Strong seals
A broad operating window across a wide range of equipment
Ultrathin film options that can help reduce overall material use
Versatility for industrial and consumer goods
Recyclability under Code 4 / LDPE
Other films include BRiX & BFFRi

Code 4 / LDPE Recyclable Films
Film selection is about more than what happens on the packaging line. End-of-life considerations are increasingly becoming part of packaging decisions as well.
Our applicable polyethylene film solutions are recyclable under Resin Identification Code 4 (LDPE).
Code 4 identifies low-density polyethylene, a material that may be accepted through appropriate film and flexible-plastic recycling programs.
Because recycling availability varies by municipality and program, businesses and end users should always confirm local collection requirements.
Choosing recyclable film, incorporating recycled content, and reducing unnecessary packaging material can all contribute to a more thoughtful packaging strategy.
Sustainability Without Sacrificing Performance
Every packaging operation is different. A sustainable solution still has to protect your product, run efficiently on your equipment, meet production demands, and make financial sense.
That's why Noble Films takes an application-focused approach.
We can help evaluate opportunities to:
Reduce film gauge and overall material consumption
Introduce PCR or other recycled-content films
Transition to recyclable film structures
Replace conventional carton-sealing tape with water-activated tape
Improve film performance and reduce unnecessary waste
Identify packaging solutions that support both sustainability and cost-saving initiatives
