AIRPOUCH® VOID-FILL AND PROTECTIVE PACKING MATERIALS
 
 

The AirPouch Express 3 Void-fill System uses EarthAware™ biodegradable (EGDC) and recycled material (RGT) for strong, durable air pillows that improve protection while reducing packing and shipping costs yet are environmentally friendly.

Biodegradable DuraClear™ 2000 (EGDC) is a linear low density polyethylene that contains a proprietary additive that causes biodegradation of the poly in nine months to five years, depending on exposure conditions. Material performance properties and shelf life remain in tact, as biodegradation only occurs when in contact with other biodegrading material, such as the conditions found in landfills, home and commercial composting. EGDC pillows biodegrade in both aerobic (with the presence of free oxygen) and anaerobic (without the presence of free oxygen) conditions.

 
XD Blend™ Biodegradable Premium Film (EGXD) AirPouch® EZ-Tear™ void-fill air pillows are now available in 0.95 mil XD Blend™ Biodegradable Premium Film. XD Blend is engineered using the latest polymer technologies to provide an air pillow with superior physical properties that also promotes
sustainability.


Recycled RGT film is made with recycled bag and pillow material. It is designed to provide a cost-effective alternative to other sustainable products when color uniformity is a secondary performance requirement. RGT is fully opaque and offers good durability.
    
Only AirPouch air pillows have our innovative EZ-Tear™ AirPouch Void-fill air pillow materialsperforations, which allow quick and easy separation of the pillows for fast and efficient packing. In a recent study, this EZ-Tear feature - exclusive to AirPouch - required an average of 83% less effort to pull and separate the pillows than other competitive brands. Packers using AirPouch air pillows prefer the ergonomic handling they get from the AirPouch pillows. These specially designed perforations also allow more air into each pillow, providing a better yield and lower cost per cubic foot.
