In our Bubbles with Benefits project, we develop 100% bio-based bubble wraps and packing foams to replace plastics. Besides being fully plastic-free and biodegradable, the cellulose-based materials are also customizable to match any brand's aesthetic, showing that being sustainable does not have to look boring and brown. These new packaging solutions can help businesses reduce their carbon footprint, enhance their brand with sustainable values, and save costs by using less material without compromising protection.
