Biodegradable airbags for void fill

have been chosen by Sci-MX
Nutrition for use as void fill
when sending out sports
nutrition products for
distribution throughout
the UK and Europe.

comments: "Normal airbag
material is plastic based and
takes many years to
degrade in landfill which
is bad for the
environment. If we
do not do
everything we can
to protect the
environment there
will be no sports
fields in the
future. We
therefore view
environmental
issues as extremely
important to the future of
the business and this airbag
material is 100%
biodegradable, which is
better for the environment.
We find the Cassette
machine easy to use, cost
effective and the film is
much stronger, providing
better protection, than
standard bags."
The Easypack Cassette
system, available in either
manual or semi automatic
versions, quickly dispenses
larger airbags and the
packer is able to select the
correct size and volume to
fill the space in each
individual transit outer. The
machine is neat and
compact so that every
packing bench can have its
own dispenser. The film is
vegetable starch based and
compostable to EN 13432,
which requires less than
10% residue remaining after
three months with no
negative influence on the
environment. More articles from Easypack Limited: |
