Cincinnati, OH – Storopack, Inc. introduces RENATURE® Special, the first interior cushioning material that is completely biodegradable and still meets the highest standards of packaging protection. Made from annually renewable resources like potato and wheat starch, RENATURE® Special is environmentally friendly at a cost comparable to a high quality EPS loose-fill.
This versatile cushioning material is lightweight – at just 5 pounds per cubic foot it is lighter than traditional EPS loose-fill alternatives. It is clean and free flowing, thus speeding packing operations. Naturally static-free, RENATURE® Special is ideal for many applications, including shipping of electronics, glassware, ceramics, giftware, and others.
While highly resistant to humidity, RENATURE® Special will disintegrate completely, in just 13 minutes, when in direct contact with water. It breaks down into naturally occurring components, so RENATURE® Special can be composted without residue, and with no groundwater pollution. RENATURE® Special is the result of intensive research in natural raw materials and innovative engineering.
In addition to supplying cushioning materials, Storopack can provide complete systems – from simple dispensing hoppers to custom designed, fully automatic pneumatic delivery systems – engineered for the unique needs of biodegradable materials. On-staff engineers and technicians survey existing packaging systems, design around current shipping room constraints, and provide assistance at each step of the process.
