Green approach to inflatable packaging

Airspeed edge is a compact and flexible inflatable void fill system which offers an environmentally-friendly solution for on-demand packaging. Producing lightweight, puncture-resistant film, the system is fast, quiet, easy to load and easy to use. Weighing just 12kg, this portable system is suitable for use in any packing area, hopper system or work bench.

The green-tinted film, called EP-Flex Renew is an environmentally-friendly alternative to standard polythene air cushions and contains a natural organic additive that accelerates the breakdown of the film.

A small amount of additive is compounded with standard film which attaches itself to the molecular polymer chains that form the plastic, dispersing it evenly throughout the plastic. If the plastic is disposed of in a landfill, microbes attach to the additives in the plastic, digesting and breaking down the film at an accelerated rate.
