ECOVA – HELPING TO CREATE A PLASTIC- FREE LINE AT HIGH SPEEDS OF 100PPM
Over the past six months Infinity has partnered with Little Rapids Corporation to develop advanced designs in a paper overwrap material called Ecova.
Advantages of the Ecova paper overwrap material versus other solutions on the market start with the fact that Ecova is truly 100% plastic free. Also, the Ecova paper overwrap material is made with 100% recycled fibre. There is NOT a thin layer of plastic applied to the paper overwrap material to make it seal inside the wrapper, which would defeat the purpose of being eco-friendly.
Instead, with Ecova, a glue is applied to the paper overwrap material during the production process of the paper reel. When the production process is complete, the Ecova paper overwrap reel can be used on a wrapper just like a poly reel. During the initial tests, the Ecova paper overwrap material has been tested and verified using an Infinity Eclipse T4 multi- pack wrapper.
