Sustainable Packaging Foam
Applications
Sustainable Packaging Foam
As a full-service foam fabricator and sustainable packaging partner, we help businesses decrease their impact on the environment by customizing sustainable foam packaging materials. Sustainable foam packaging helps your business save money and reduce your carbon footprint by properly protecting items while in transit, greatly reducing damage claims and returns that diminish sustainability efforts.
A single damaged product has a significant environmental impact. Every time an item is returned damaged, it must be replaced, doubling (and sometimes tripling) its environmental impact because of the need to produce, package, and ship the item again.
Products damaged in transit contribute to:
- Landfill waste
- Carbon emissions
- Additional warehousing and manufacturing resources
- More protective packaging used to reship the item
