GIRCLIP: THE PLASTIC CLIP CREATED BY GIRÓ

100% monomaterial plastic clipped packaging is now a reality!

Giró has been working for years on projects and initiatives aligned with its strong commitment to sustainability, trying to reduce the environmental impact favoring the circular economy.

As a result of this commitment, we present the new product created by Giró: GirClip.

GirClip is a plastic clip that will allow us to replace the current metal clip and obtain a clipped bag made of 100% monomaterial plastic, facilitating recyclability and promoting a model based on the circular economy.

 In the initial stage, the maximum recommended weight of clipped bags with GirClip is 1,5 kg, but the expected improvement in the production of the clips makes us foresee an increase in resistance and therefore an increase in the weight of the contents of the package.

GIRCLIP BENEFITS

On the environment

Elimination of the metal clip, which is replaced by a 100% plastic clip

As a monoproduct packaging, is easier for the consumer when disposing of the waste: no need to separate the plastic materials from the non-plastic ones

Reduction of the risk of contamination of the recycling stream

For the packer

It does not affect the packing plant since the output of our CA-9S/CA-10 GirClip machine is about 35 bags/minute (1kg bags)

Ease of replacing old clipping machines with conventional clipping head with new clipping machines with GirClip head

Possibility to upgrade existing clipping machines by replacing only the clipping head

The Girclip plastic design is exclusive to Giró and is currently patent pending in Spain.
