ENVIRONMENT AND CUSHIONING FOAM FOR PACKAGING

#1
The protection of the environment has become a major concern in today's society and is integrated in many areas, including packaging. A striking example is polystyrene cushioning foams , which previously dominated the packaging market, and are now competing with alternative, less polluting and more easily recyclable alternatives.

New cushioning foams acclaimed for their environmental safety
The timing of polyethylene foams and polyurethane are increasingly popular with users to package their goods. Although they are made from petroleum, they are chemically stable and pose no danger to the environment . In addition, they have all the characteristics of conventional cushioning foams because they are resistant, and adapt to any merchandise to be packaged, including heavy objects, electronic products and the most sensitive goods such as luxury items.

Recyclable cushioning foams made from agricultural materials
New generation cushioning foams are recyclable and can be converted into energy or reused for lower performance. In addition, to optimize the recycling of cushioning foams , they can now be made from agricultural by-products, such as corn husks, buckwheat husks, oat balls, soy beans, mushroom roots, or sugarcane waste .

To manufacture cushioning foams from these elements, agricultural products are cleaned, cooked, pasteurized with basic equipment and inoculated with mycelium. The product is then put into a mold and the foam is produced five days later. The use of these cushioning foams is similar to polyethylene and polyurethane cushioning foams and is just as strong.

Cushioning foams at favorable rates
Contrary to popular belief about environmentally friendly products, the price of new generation timing foams is advantageous and offers competitive rates with conventional synthetic timing foams. Do not hesitate to contact the Pack Up sales team for any further information.
