AIRplus® 50% Recycled 16P Cushion offers the same outstanding protective properties as conventional engineered air cushions. This solution is ideal for companies that value high-quality protective packaging to keep their own products safe as well as sustainability. The lower material use of air cushion compared to other materials can also save costs. AIRplus® 50% Recycled is also recyclable and therefore offers further contribution to a closed loop economy.

Article content Article content Storopack Commits to Broadening Sustainable Product Portfolio With AIRplus® 50% Recycled Cushion, Storopack is expanding its product portfolio of flexible protective packaging made from recycled and renewable materials. In addition to the new air cushion film, Storopack offers 50% and 100% recycled-content air pillows, numerous PAPERplus® paper cushions, Renature loose fill and Wrap made from renewable and compostable starch materials, and  PELASPAN® packaging loose fill made entirely from recycled raw materials.
