Eco Easy Lift

Product overview. The Eco Easy Lift handle is an innovative solution for transporting heavy loads in various industries, including food and logistics. It offers increased moisture resistance and improved ergonomics, making it safer and more comfortable to carry in any situation. Comfortable grip and high recyclability meet the needs for comfort, manageability, and convenience of disposal demanded by consumers.

Innovation. Eco Easy Lift combines functionality and eco-sustainability: ergonomic, mono-material, and moisture-resistant. Made from ISCC+ certified materials, it reduces environmental impact. The larger print area improves communication, while the design optimises transport, comfort and safety.

Materials used. All high-performance and sustainable: BOPP, durable and lightweight, with LISIM technology, ISCC+ certified, reduces thickness and use of virgin raw materials; TNT (non-woven fabric) made of PP improves ergonomics and resists moisture; solvent-free hot-melt/acrylic adhesives ensure secure and durable adhesion.

Applied technologies and benefits. In addition to LISIM technology, to reduce the thickness of the BOPP film compared to the standard while maintaining performance, Irplast has adopted flexographic and gravure printing processes as well as adhesive application through proprietary technology. The solution is applicable on all handle applying machines. Replacing paper with PP TNT creates a single-material handle recyclable together with the load and provides a comfortable grip, ideal for heavy loads. Improved ergonomics and moisture resistance with a 20% reduction in weight. Ideal for beverage and logistics companies seeking sustainable and ergonomic packaging, it has potential for large-scale adoption due to favourable environmental regulations, including PPWR, and growing demand for environmentally friendly solutions.

Environmental and consumer benefits. The Eco Easy Lift handle enables a reduction in virgin raw material through the use of ISCC+ certified BOPP film and adhesive from renewable sources or chemical recycling, greatly reducing the carbon footprint. Because it is mono-material, the handle is recyclable along with the plastic, simplifying its management. The large print area makes consumer communication more effective.

Communication advantages. Eco Easy Lift means functionality, sustainability and communication in one handle. With the larger printable area, values, brand messages and even a QR code can be conveyed to engage consumers in an innovative and direct way.
