Personally, I think that the most sustainable form of padding for packaging must be those expanded polystyrene pasta shells.

 

They are totally re-usable pretty much for ever.

 

What can beat that?

This stuff is great... we have a machine at the office that cuts it. 

 

...

 

We're looking at a wider rollout for use in deliveries to customers, and trialled it. Oddly we got some distinctly negative feedback from customers - but could just be Karens.

 

 

Have used a similar machine, and my experience was that it could create dust/particles - is that the kind of complaints you have been getting?

 

 

Yes. This seems fair as I can see how that would be annoying.

 

The other complaint we got a bit was about cutting down unnecessary trees.

 

Reminds me I need to check what our machine actually is if I'm ever allowed back in the office, I think it may not quite be the same as what PB Tech are using. I had a Google and could only see one that uses specific paper - ours definitely uses random crap. Although on second thoughts that could not be its intended use....

Bubble wrap should be banned. Recycled papers and cardboard and paper from sustainable renewable forests should be used. Styrofoam etc is an abomination and should go.




Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.
