In an age where sustainability is increasingly becoming a priority, businesses across various industries are seeking alternatives to reduce their environmental impact. The food export industry, in particular, has faced a major challenge with the recent ban on imported styrene into Europe. As a result, many exporters have been on the lookout for an eco-friendly foam replacement that ensures safe transportation of goods while complying with sustainability goals.
The Search for a Sustainable Alternative to Foam:
A national food exporter, faced with the ban on styrene blocks used for dunnage and void fill, began researching suitable alternatives. They identified two potential solutions – corrugated cardboard and honeycomb cardboard. While corrugated cardboard was relatively inexpensive and performed acceptably, the exporter was concerned about the additional labour time and cost required for folding the cardboard into blocks.
Introducing Litepack:
After an extensive evaluation process, the food exporter discovered Litepack as the ideal solution for their void fill needs. Litepack is a sustainable alternative to polystyrene, specifically designed for manufacturing and logistics with no additional processing required. Made from honeycomb cardboard with a sturdy construction, Litepack offers excellent cushioning and protection for transported goods.
