New Arrival! Kaiyuan GRS Eco-friendly Film: A Premium Choice Balancing Environmental Protection and Performance
2026-05-08
I. Recycled Materials: An Inevitable Choice for the Circular Economy Era
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an internationally authoritative certification system for recycled materials. It requires a minimum recycled content of 20% and covers four core dimensions: supply chain, social responsibility, environmental management and chemical safety.
Under the impetus of the Paris Agreement and plastic restriction policies worldwide, the EU mandates that packaging contain over 30% recycled components by 2030. China’s 14th Five-Year Plan for Bioeconomy clearly supports the R&D of recycled materials. The launch of Kaiyuan’s GRS films perfectly aligns with the global industrial upgrading trend.
Recycled materials are not merely waste reuse; they serve as a core engine to reshape the material value chain.
Made from raw materials such as industrial defective products and post-consumer waste plastics, Kaiyuan’s GRS films can cut carbon emissions by 40%-60%, equivalent to reducing the carbon footprint by 2.1kg CO₂e per ton of product.
II. GRS Eco Film vs Virgin Petroleum-based Film: Data Speaks for the Green Revolution
| Dimension | GRS Eco-friendly Film | Virgin Petroleum-based Film |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Material Source | Pre-consumer / Post-consumer recycled materials (30%-100% recycling rate) | Non-renewable fossil resources |
| Carbon Emission | 40%-60% carbon reduction | Carbon footprint up to 3.5kg CO₂e/kg |
| Resource Recycling | Closed-loop recycling, reduces landfill pollution | One-time consumption, high risk of resource depletion |
| Social Value | Eliminates plastic waste pollution | Aggravates energy dependence and environmental pressure |
III. Innovative Production Process: Realize Full-chain Resource Recycling
Kaiyuan has deeply specialized in eco-friendly material production technology, fostering a closed-loop model of Waste — Recycled Resources — Premium Products.
For pre-consumer recycled materials, defective products generated during production are converted into high-quality film raw materials through refined processes including sorting, cleaning, drying, granulation and cast film production. For post-consumer recycled materials, starting from waste collection, multiple rigorous processing procedures are adopted to remove impurities and restore material properties, ultimately producing eco-friendly films that meet market demands.
Proven production technology enables seamless compatibility between recycled and virgin materials. Large-scale production can be achieved without additional switching costs, boosting resource utilization and lowering the environmental footprint of production. It sets a replicable benchmark for resource recycling in the industry.
Meanwhile, Kaiyuan’s GRS films have passed 12 global compliance certifications including EU EU10-2011 and U.S. FDA. Completely free of BPA and PVC, they are safely applicable to sensitive fields such as food packaging and infant products.
IV. Full-chain Traceability: GRS Certification Builds a Trust System
As a core competitive advantage, the product features a full lifecycle traceability system coveringraw materials — semi-finished products — finished products:
- Both upstream and downstream enterprises hold GRS certification with exclusive identification numbers;
- Each batch is equipped with a Transaction Certificate (TC) for precise traceability of recycled material dosage and carbon emission reduction data;
- Consumers can scan the GRS label to instantly check the source of recycled raw materials and environmental contribution value.
According to third-party research, consumer acceptance of products with GRS certification reaches 78%, with a brand premium potential of up to 30%.
Conclusion
The official launch of GRS eco-friendly films marks another milestone for Kaiyuan in the eco-friendly materials sector. Going forward, the company will continue to focus on technological innovation and upgrading of eco-friendly materials, optimize production processes, expand application scenarios for recycled materials, drive sustainable development across the entire supply chain, and contribute further to global environmental protection and sustainable development.
