It may be disposed of as a non-hazardous material, or can be recycled as a reusable plastic material. Ideal for shipping and storing high value components inside bins, boxes or shipping containers, the wrap is available in several forms: pre-sized, zip-closure bags, large gusseted tote-bin size bags, stretch film and flat stock....more
