Fillair r5 inflatable packaging film is designed to boost the overall sustainability of packaging while delivering the same performance as traditional films.
The material can be used on the companys fillair 2000 and fillair cyclone packaging systems to create airfilled cusions for voidfill applications. The material contains a minimum of 10 percent thermoplastic starch resin which, according to the firm, is derived from an annually renewable source it also is said to contain a minimum of 10 percent preconsumer recycled content derived from film manufacturing facilities.
Packers reportedly can reduce the amount of material used when packaging the product compared to other materials such as polystyrene peanuts. Because of the films reported strength and superior air retention, customers can reuse cushions made with the film in other packages it also may be recycled with polyolefin films through local recyclers, or by sending it to the ameripak recycling center.
