What is environment friendlier products? These are products that produce less landfill because they bio-degrade naturally or produce less waste (AKA dunnage) because they require less product to achieve the same or better packaging performance.
Some examples of industrial packaging solutions with greener alternatives include:
- Unitizing Adhesives. Such as Lock N Pop. Here is product that produces virtually no waste and replaces pallet wrap / stretch wrap / stretch film wrapping systems with a spray on adhesive that enabled units/ boxes to stick together on a pallet and will keep units together until ready to un-unitize simply by un-snaping units apart.
- High performance machine stretch film for use with high performance (new technology) stretch wrap machines enable stretch wrapping product to stretch up to 300% further, while providing improved unitizing performance and greatly reducing cost per unit wrapping.
- Reusable protective packaging products such as pads that giving cushioning to items packaged in boxes.
- Corrugate and paper packaging products made with mostly recycled paper products thereby reducing take from new forest resources. Such as recycled : kraft papers, envelopes, newsprint, packaging papers, paper boxes etc.
- Plastic packaging products such as plastic bins and plastic storage containers and plastic boxes that are made with recycled plastic products
