Benefits of Pulp Packaging
Environmental – Performance – Economic
Molded pulp packaging offers a wide range of benefits compared to traditional plastic and EPS (Styrofoam) packaging.
Environmental
- 100% post-industrial raw materials
- Chemical-free pulping process
- Open air drying (70% of the time)
- No waste water — all water evaporates or is reused in the pulping process
- Zero manufacturing waste –- all scraps are returned to the pulp slurry
- Final packaging is 100% recyclable
Economic
- Inexpensive raw material sources
- Affordable new development costs
- Designed to nest for reduced shipping and storage costs
- Formed to shape –- no assembly required
Performance
- Excellent bracing, blocking and cushioning protection
- Unaffected by extreme temperatures
- Water resistant
- Electrically neutral
