With over 30 years of experience in the shrink-wrapping industry, we support industrial professionals with a comprehensive range of solutions: [wide-width shrink films](https://ripack-supplies.com/en/products/shrink-film/) made from LDPE (low-density polyethylene) and essential equipment such as [Ripack® shrink guns](https://ripack-supplies.com/en/ripack-complementary-products/) , designed to meet the demands of even the most complex packaging projects. Our strength lies in a unique partnership: the combination of Ripack, the global leader in shrink guns, with one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of shrink film. This combined expertise guarantees: - High quality and technical performance of our films and equipment, - Tailored advice adapted to the specific needs of each customer, - Customized solutions to protect, wrap, and secure all types of products — from rooftops to industrial stockpiles, and even aerospace applications. This industrial vision is firmly rooted in strong social and environmental responsibility. In addition to offering 100% recyclable shrink films, we now incorporate up to 50% recycled materials into our industrial-grade shrink films — with no compromise on performance. In line with this sustainable strategy, we are proud to introduce our new brand, [Ripacycle®,](https://ripacycle.com/en/) further reinforcing our global commitment to sustainability. ## **A New CSR Milestone: The Birth of Ripacycle®** Ripacycle®, the new brand launched by the SEFMAT Group, which owns Ripack Supplies®, is a free recycling and reconditioning service for used shrink guns. Now available across the entire Eurozone, this unique program allows users to easily return their end-of-life equipment, regardless of the brand. - Functional parts are reused for reconditioning Ripack® shrink guns, - Non-reusable components are responsibly recycled by local recycling partners, following a short and sustainable value chain. This initiative is a natural addition to the Ripack Supplies® offer: in addition to our recyclable shrink films, we now provide a sustainable solution for the supporting equipment as well. The program has been designed to be attractive and easy to adopt: For every shrink gun returned, users can choose between: - ✅ A €100 voucher for the purchase of a new Ripack® shrink gun, - ✅ Or a donation of the same amount to an environmental organization. https://youtu.be/Cappgjb1L10 **An Integrated and Measurable CSR Approach** Beyond Ripacycle®, the SEFMAT Group is implementing a bold and measurable CSR strategy: - Shareholder in Team for the Planet (20 tons of CO₂ avoided in 2023), - Ownership of 85 trees through Ecotree, - Promotion of green mobility (bonuses, free charging stations), - Member of ZIRI, an ethical purchasing cooperative, - Strict management and sorting of all waste flows (plastics, cardboard, toner cartridges, aerosols, cigarette butts). In addition, SEFMAT is strongly committed to inclusion, solidarity, and employee well-being: Partnerships with workshops for people with disabilities (ESAT), inclusion of employees with disabilities, support for local causes, solidarity initiatives such as Pink October, and a strong internal culture of wellness and team cohesion. ## **A Forward-Looking Vision** With over a century of combined expertise, the SEFMAT Group distributes its solutions in more than 100 countries worldwide. At Ripack Supplies, this vision is reflected in: - 100% recyclable LDPE films, including a high percentage of recycled content, - Consistent high quality thanks to bi-oriented shrinkage and UV stabilization, - Adaptability to all shapes and sizes — from fighter jets and cruise ships to industrial stock. With Ripacycle®, Ripack Supplies takes the next step: Offering a fully circular solution — from recyclable film protection to giving shrink guns a second life. At Ripack Supplies, innovation and CSR go hand in hand to build a high-performance, sustainable, and future-oriented industry — for the benefit of generations to come.
