EnviroPAK packaging is made out of molded pulp. The material is made out of 100% recycled newspapers and water, no chemicals are used in the process, and is 100% recyclable and biodegradable making this a truly eco-friendly package. Molded pulp is used for small household appliances, to medical supplies, computer & electronic equipment, candles, automotive supplies, food, and as furniture protection. EnviroPAK is great for people that need only a few thousand packages a week, to millions per week. When it comes to the protection of the items being shipped, pulp material is a much better choice than plastic. It cushions the materials incredibly well, especially when vibration is involved. You are a perfect candidate for molded pulp if you have experienced breakage of your materials with your current packaging, have high labor costs for packing the products, your annual volume is greater than 250,000 parts per year, and finally, if you just want to make your company more environmentally friendly, pulp packaging is great. It takes about 2-5 months for paper to biodegrade, and it takes over 500 years for just a plastic ring from a sports drink to biodegrade. EnviroPAK recycles enough newspaper to power 755 homes for an entire year, to drive a car around the earth 70 times, and to fill 1900 18” pools with water.
