Unveiling Biodegradable Cellulose Film: A Natural Alternative
Imagine a material that rivals plastic in flexibility and transparency yet holds an eco-friendly edge—cellulose film. At OwnLikes, we specialize in transforming cotton pulp or wood pulp into regenerated cellulose membranes through a unique process. This "cellophane" is no ordinary paper. While it mirrors the strength and sheen of synthetic films, it’s crafted entirely from renewable resources, setting it apart in the world of industrial labeling and packaging. This natural alternative isn't just a theoretical concept—it’s here, replacing plastic in practical, everyday applications.
Cellulose film isn’t the end of the story. The adhesive that accompanies it is equally revolutionary. OwnLikes’ pressure-sensitive glue is a biodegradable, water-based concoction that complements the film's environmental promise. Comprised of butyl acrylate, water, rosin resin, and a medley of additives, this glue breaks down harmlessly into water and carbon dioxide. It's a far cry from traditional adhesives, which persist in landfills for centuries. This eco-glue can also be recycled alongside waste cartons, contributing to a circular economy where nothing goes to waste.
But the customization doesn't stop there. The cellulose film can be tailored to suit specific aesthetic and functional needs. Whether it’s a splash of color—white, red, blue, or beige—or custom logos and dimensions, OwnLikes ensures that brands don’t have to compromise on identity or values. In a world increasingly driven by sustainability, these biodegradable films aren't just a product; they're a statement.
The Apparel Industry’s Green Shift: From Plastic to Biodegradable Solutions
Each year, the fashion industry churns out around 80 billion garments. A staggering 90 percent of these use plastic for price tags and product information labels. As environmental awareness seeps into every facet of consumer behavior, brands and retailers face mounting pressure to swap out plastic for sustainable alternatives. This is where OwnLikes steps in, offering biodegradable cellulose film as an answer to the apparel industry's environmental dilemma.
Post-pandemic, the shift toward eco-conscious consumption has only accelerated. Consumers, now more than ever, prioritize health, comfort, and sustainability in their clothing choices. They demand that brands take responsibility, pushing the industry toward a greener future. OwnLikes rises to this challenge, delivering biodegradable solutions that meet the stringent demands of modern apparel production without compromising on quality or durability.

- Biodegradable cellulose paper film (25-40u thickness) with movable adhesive, adaptable to grid or transparent bottom specifications.
Whether you're looking to adjust size specifications, print logos, or customize automatic labeling roll materials, OwnLikes has the expertise and technology to make it happen.
Verifying the Authenticity of Biodegradable Cellulose Film
With innovation comes skepticism, and rightly so. How can you be sure that what you're getting is genuinely biodegradable? OwnLikes provides three quick verification methods to dispel any doubts:
- Ignition Test: In a safe environment, ignite the material. It should burn quickly without dripping, leaving behind paper ash.
- Smell Test: When burned, the smell should resemble that of burning paper products.
- Tear Test: The material should tear easily longitudinally.
It's these simple, yet effective tests that confirm the authenticity of our biodegradable cellulose film. To further solidify trust, we provide supporting documents, including the EU Industrial Composting Certificate, EU Home Composting Certificate, FSC Forest Certificate, RoHS report, FDA food-grade certification, and Halogen reports.
But what about moisture resistance? After all, paper and water don’t traditionally mix well. Rest assured, OwnLikes’ cellulose film is moisture-proof, having passed rigorous tests involving high temperatures and humidity. The advanced coating process ensures that the film can withstand various post-processing techniques such as shallow bump, embossing, UV printing, and high-frequency heat sealing.
Answering the Tough Questions: Degradation, Recycling, and Beyond
One common concern surrounding biodegradable materials is the fear of premature degradation. Will the product disintegrate before reaching the consumer? The answer is a resounding no. Our biodegradable cellulose film requires specific conditions—microorganisms, temperature, and humidity—to break down over 90 days. Under normal circumstances, the material remains robust and reliable throughout its intended use cycle.
When compared to traditional OPP/PET films, OwnLikes’ biodegradable cellulose film boasts several advantages:
- Complete biodegradability into harmless substances like protein and glucose.
- Antistatic properties for smoother handling.
- High transparency and color reproduction for superior print quality.
- Strong rupture resistance and high barrier properties for reliable protection.
- Odorless and non-toxic when burned.
- Easier to tear longitudinally, meeting special packaging needs.
- Exemption from tariffs under plastic orders, helping you avoid additional costs.
What’s more, our biodegradable materials can be recycled along with paper, requiring no separate processing. When regenerated, the proportion of finished products is minimal, ensuring efficient use of resources.
