Eco-Friendly Strapping

X-Pak Global supplies eco-friendly strapping that combines strength, safety, and sustainability for modern freight and warehouse operations. Designed as an alternative to steel strapping, our PET and poly strapping systems deliver proven load security while helping operators reduce plastic use and meet compliance requirements under the NHVR Load Restraint Guide and the CTU Code. With 40–60% cost savings compared to steel and tensile strengths up to 1,350 kg, PET strapping is now the proven choice for Australian exporters, warehouse operators, and freight companies.

PET Strapping

PET strapping is the leading choice for sustainable pallet strapping and container load restraint. Manufactured from recycled materials, it provides high tensile strength and comes with no risks associated with steel. PET is safe to handle, fully recyclable, and strong enough to secure heavy industrial loads.

Key performance benefits:

  • Strength: Tensile capacity up to 1,350 kg, matching steel in most applications.
  • Cost efficiency: 40–60% savings compared to steel strapping, with more straps per coil and fewer changeovers.
  • Safety: 80% lighter than steel, no sharp edges, and no spring-back hazards when cut.
  • Sustainability: 100% recyclable, manufactured with up to 30% recycled content.
  • Reliability: Holds tension over long road and sea transport, minimising the risk of load shift.

Australian manufacturers and logistics operators are already making the switch. Companies across food, construction, and heavy industry rely on X-Pak’s PET strapping to improve workplace safety and reduce costs while maintaining compliance.

X-Pak’s PET Recycling Program

At X-Pak Global, sustainability doesn’t stop at supply. Our PET Recycling Program ensures that used strapping is given a second life rather than going to landfill.

Once collected and separated by colour, PET strapping is sent to certified recycling partners for processing. The material is cleaned, shredded, and melted down into high-quality pellets, which are then used to manufacture new PET products — including future strapping.

By closing the loop, X-Pak helps customers reduce waste, meet corporate sustainability targets, and support a circular economy within the Australian logistics sector.

Our team can advise on best practices for PET strapping recycling, making it easy for your site to participate and contribute to a measurable reduction in plastic waste.

Other Eco-Friendly Options

In addition to PET, X-Pak offers:

  • Poly strapping for light to medium bundling applications.
  • Ribbon steel strap and rope steel strap for maximum break strength, where steel remains essential but usage is minimised for sustainability reasons.

Applications

Eco-friendly strapping is used throughout the supply chain for:

  • Palletising: Securing pallet loads in warehouses and distribution centres.
  • Container packing: Meeting CTU Code tilt-test and NHVR requirements for export cargo stability.
  • Industrial bundling: Holding timber, pipes, and heavy products together for safe transport.

What Our Customers Say

Any Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.

These are the most commonly asked questions. Here’s everything you need to know about how our products work in your industry.

What is load restraint?

Load restraint is the process of securing cargo within a transportation vessel, such as a truck, ship, or train, to prevent movement, shifting, or falling during transit.

Load restraint is crucial to ensure the safety of the cargo, the vehicle, and everyone involved in the transportation process. It prevents accidents, damage to the cargo, and maintains overall road and transportation safety in the logistics supply chain.

Various devices are used for load restraint, including strapping, lashing, dunnage bags, anti-slip mats, and tensioners. The choice of device depends on the type of cargo, the mode of transportation, and the regulations governing the transport.
The appropriate method depends on factors such as the weight, size, and shape of the cargo. Regulatory requirements and the mode of transportation also play a role. Contact X-Pak for free advice on the most effective solution for you.

At X-Pak Global, we understand the importance of selecting the right cargo securing solution for your specific needs. To assist you in making an informed decision, we offer complimentary site visits and assessments. Our team of experts will visit your location, evaluate your cargo restraint, and provide personalised recommendations based on its weight, size, and unique characteristics.

During the site visit, we’ll assess the transportation conditions and consider factors such as the mode of transport and any regulatory requirements. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to tailor our recommendations to ensure the safety and security of your cargo and people throughout the transportation process.
