Sealed Air, known for its environmentally friendly packaging solutions, last week introduced its PakNatural® Biodegradable Cushion Bag, an internal packaging material for protective cushioning during shipping that meets sustainability requirements for performance, cost competitiveness and environmental responsibility.
The new packaging innovation encases the company's PakNatural loose fill material within a protective bag also made from certified biodegradable, compostable and renewable film. The bags retain the superior non-abrasive properties of Sealed Air’s PakNatural loose fill solution, making them ideal for protecting electronics, books, glass items and collectibles.
“This solution truly is unique to our market,” said Mark Bourke, Sealed Air sales development manager for PakNatural. “All elements of the PakNatural Biodegradable Cushion Bag are renewable, biodegradable and compostable. It’s another great example of Sealed Air’s SmartLife™ commitment to sustainability through efficient packaging solutions that provide product protection while reducing costs and environmental impact through the entire supply chain.”
Available in three sizes, the PakNatural Biodegradable Cushion Bag is an attractive consideration for operations that desire biodegradable and compostable materials and that prefer self-contained packaging solutions over traditional loose-fill formats, such as styrofoam peanuts.
Additionally, the PakNatural Bag is certified as biodegradable and compostable by three independent international organizations — The Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI), the German certification organization DIN CERTCO and the Belgium-based independent testing and research organization Vincotte.
