PET straps are widely utilised in agriculture and horticulture for the effective bundling and securing of various items, such as bales of hay, crates filled with fruits, or bags of produce. One of the key advantages is their rust-resistant properties, which make them a reliable choice for use in outdoor environments where moisture may be a concern. Additionally, they are significantly lighter in weight compared to alternative options, making them easier to handle and transport. Furthermore, PET straps are more environmentally friendly, as they are easier to dispose of and reduce waste in comparison to traditional materials.
In terms of strength, PET straps provide a cost-effective solution with a high tensile strength that often surpasses that of nylon straps, making them suitable for securing heavy loads without risk of breakage. Another important consideration is the low environmental impact associated with PET straps, especially when taking into account their recyclability and resource-efficient production processes. Choosing recycled PET packaging straps represents a proactive step toward adopting a more sustainable and economically viable packaging procedure.
Jay Shah, managing director at Gabriel PET Straps ltd., said, “To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of PET straps, it is crucial to store them properly. Ideally, they should be kept in a clean indoor environment that is dry and free from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as these conditions can deteriorate the material over time. Additionally, it is important to prevent exposure to harsh chemicals, which can compromise the integrity of the straps, and to maintain proper ventilation in the storage area to avoid moisture accumulation that could lead to mould or degradation.”
