The Eco-Clip Strip® is manufactured with Eco-Fast™, a proprietary additive that accelerates the breakdown of plastic in anaerobic landfill environments - where traditional plastics can take hundreds of years to degrade.
"For years, we have tested bioplastics, paper-based solutions, and other so-called 'green' alternatives; none have met the high level of performance our customers demand," said John Spitaletta, CMO & Partner at Clip Strip Corp. "Our Eco-Clip Strip® line changes that. Strong, shelf-ready, and engineered to significantly reduce long-term environmental impact, it proves that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand."
Unlike conventional materials that compromise on durability or function, Eco-Clip Strip® Merchandisers maintain the structural integrity required for effective retail display -ensuring reliability in high-traffic environments, even when holding heavier products.
Eco Benefits That Don't Compromise Performance
- Accelerated degradation in landfills: Eco-Fast™ enables plastic to break down up to 90% faster than untreated plastic in anaerobic landfill conditions.
- Energy-positive impact: The methane released during breakdown can be captured and converted to renewable energy in many modern landfills.
- Safe and compliant: Eco-Fast™ is tested to ASTM D5511 and D5526 standards, is OECD 301D certified, and is safe for food-contact use.
- Recyclable where accepted: Made of polypropylene (PP #5), the strips are recyclable in communities with appropriate infrastructure.
Strategic Launch with Popular Models First
Clip Strip Corp. is initially offering the Eco-Clip Strip® formulation in two of its most widely used molded and versatile models - typically used for mid to heavier weight packages:
- WMS-23-ECO - a 24.875" tall heavy-duty molded strip with 2.125" wide x 1.375" tall header
- PL-24-ECO - a 24" tall heavy-duty molded strip with a 3" wide x 1.375" tall header
The company plans to expand the line based on customer demand, retail sustainability initiatives, and market feedback.
Leading by Example
With increasing pressure from consumers, brands, and retailers to reduce plastic waste, Eco-Clip Strip® offers a simple, scalable, and proactive solution for brands and retailers seeking to meet sustainability goals without redesigning their merchandising programs.
"If more retailers began requiring sustainable POP materials like this, " added Charles Spitaletta, CEO & Partner, "it would quickly reshape the industry's environmental footprint."
