Greener Solutions: Embrace Eco Friendly Packaging with FROMM
As sustainability takes centre stage, businesses seek materials that protect products and the planet. Often, the solution is considered to be eco friendly packaging materials made from recycled or recyclable materials only. However, the fact is that, to be truly eco friendly, packaging should also be durable and effective. quality equals sustainability.
To answer this need, FROMM Packaging Systems delivers innovative eco friendly packaging options that minimise environmental impact without sacrificing performance. Here’s a look at three leading solutions.
Airpad Films: Lightweight Protection
FROMM’s air cushion film consists of 99% air and 1% polyethylene, creating a highly efficient void-fill solution. The standard film offers excellent cushioning for light to medium-weight items, while antistatic and multi-layer variants address sensitive electronics or extreme conditions. Producing cushions on demand eliminates excess inventory and reduces plastic use, making it ideal for warehousing and e-commerce fulfilment.
Paperpad Machines: Renewable Void Fill
For a paper-based alternative, the Paperpad PC100 converts rolls of recyclable paper into interlocking pads. This system creates versatile layers and blocks that stabilise fragile goods during transit. Because it uses 100% kraft paper, disposal is simple, and the risk of plastic pollution is removed. The compact footprint of the machine also saves floor space in packing stations.
STARstrap™ Polyester Strapping: Recycled Strength
STARstrap™ delivers robust bundling with an eco conscious angle. Made from 100% recycled PET bottles, this material matches high-tensile steel strapping in performance while offering superior elongation and shock absorption. It reduces breakage risks and protects edges without corrosion concerns. Available in widths from 9 mm to 32 mm, STARstrap™ often replaces steel bands, cutting material costs by up to 50% and lowering handling injuries.
Why Choose FROMM’s Green Range?
- Waste Reduction: On-demand air cushions and paper pads reduce excess wrap and eliminate leftover rolls.
