Microsoft commissioned Anthesis to support the design and delivery, and provide technical support, to the Stretch Wrap Alternative Project. The project focused on researching and piloting circular alternatives to stretch wrap plastic used during the transportation and delivery of goods in supply chains across a variety of industries.
The Stretch Wrap Alternatives Project was initiated in January 2021 and included 11 companies from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation network, with a collective goal of reimagining stretch wrap plastic through testing three alternatives to linear stretch wrap, with a core focus on reuse, recycling, and composting options.
The aim was to assess whether they could be technically feasible, scalable, and commercially viable while reducing the environmental impact in comparison with the current stretch wrap used in supply chains.
