CHEERS TO 27 YEARS!
This month, Dr. Shrink is celebrating 27 years in business. I would like to thank all of our customers, vendors, employees, and colleagues for another great year in business. For our loyal customers, I would like to extend a shrink wrap discount during our anniversary week. Please see below for details.
If you are located in Michigan, please keep in mind that we are running another year of our
Recycling Run
to make sure all shrink wrap covers are recycled. If you are located in other states within the continental United States, our
REBAG Recycling Kit
is an option for you. Are you aware of a shrink wrap recycling program outside of Michigan? Please send us information on your state's program so we can add it to our list for when customers in your area call us regarding recycling their shrink wrap covers. Thank you to everyone for their effort in making sure all shrink wrap is properly recycled.

2 WAYS TO RECYCLE YOUR
SHRINK WRAP!
The Dr. makes it easy to recycle your used shrink wrap. Two convenient methods allow you to keep shrink wrap out of our landfills.
1) Are you in Michigan?
Dr. Shrink is again teaming up with Bay Area Recycling for Charities of Traverse City, Michigan. This program offers an environmentally friendly option to all Michigan boat storage facilities, marinas, and boat owners, asking them to help the environment by recycling shrink wrap. Dr. Shrink shrink wrap is a #4 LDPE premium, virgin resin material that is easily recyclable into a variety of usable consumer products. It will not biodegrade in a landfill. The Recycling Run program makes recycling simple and straightforward.
Participants buy
Dr. Shrink’s
EZ-Fill Bags
for $5.00 each from Dr. Shrink
. This cost includes the pickup, transportation, and recycling of the filled bags. You must then submit the
Registration Form
to Dr. Shrink by June 1
st
to have your pickup scheduled. Pickups will be completed mid-to end of June.
Each EZ-Fill bag is 42” x 70” and holds about 800 square feet of shrink wrap, about the cover from a 32’ boat. Critical to the successful recycling of boat shrink wrap is keeping it clean. All straps, buckles, zippers, doors and vents must be removed for the wrap to be accepted by recyclers. A
video
showing how to properly remove shrink wrap covers for recycling is available on the Dr. Shrink website.
Dr. Shrink hopes the Recycling Run program model will be copied by other states who are looking to set up shrink wrap recycling programs.
If you know of a current shrink wrap recycling program within your state, please send Dr. Shrink information on the program. Any customers, marinas, boat yards, etc. who call Dr. Shrink inquiring about shrink wrap recycling in their area will be provided with your program information.
2) Outside of Michigan?
Purchase a Dr. Shrink REBAG r
ecycling kit for use in the Continental U.S. The REBAG Kit consists of a 30" x 50" clear bag with cover removal directions printed on it, a closure device for the bag and a prepaid FedEx shipping label. Each REBAG will hold the cover from a 26' power boat or approximately 600 square feet.

"GO BEYOND THE BOAT" MONTHLY FEATURE
MATERIAL HANDLING
|
|
The use of shrink wrap in
material handling
is becoming more popular, as it is more durable than stretch wrap and full encapsulation can make it completely waterproof. Less strapping will be required and when using a high mil thickness, the object becomes tamper resistant.
Manufacturers produce products all across the globe and in order to successfully transport these products from their origination to final destination, a durable protection solution is required. Offering shrink wrap solutions from 6-12 mil thickness, Dr. Shrink provides some of the most durable transportation protection in the market.
