Axiom Corp., Atlanta, Ga., USA, has provided new commentary from its new CEO, Tyler Pearson addressing recent activity of Canadian subsidiary PaperNuts (St. Catharines, Ont., Canada) where the group has recently launched on-demand packaging technology. There is a strong anticipated market for eco-friendly sustainable packaging options that Axiom hopes will accompany such developments.

"The slogan here at PaperNuts has always been, 'If they were any greener, they'd still be growing!'" commented Pearson. "That's because PaperNuts are manufactured using 100% recycled paper and represent a viable replacement for eco-harmful products such as polystyrene foam peanuts, corn based fillers, expanded foam, and other plastic material that have been the industry standard for many years."
 
 

In addition to being eco-friendly, reusable, and SFI compliant, PaperNuts have several other key properties that make them ideal for any loose-fill packaging application. Of great importance to many buyers, PaperNuts provide superior protection by forming a static-free interlocking shock absorption barrier that eliminates migration and damage, even with very heavy loads. This means that eco-conscious PaperNuts users don't have to compromise when it comes to product protection.

"Another major advantage of our proprietary technology is that PaperNuts are produced on-site and on-demand by the customer using their own PaperNuts Converter. PaperNuts customers only produce what they need, when they need it. This greatly reduces the amount of resources required to manage, store, and ship loose-fill packaging material inventory. Overall, this can really have a positive impact on their bottom line and position PaperNuts as a true strategic partner and not just a supplier." said Pearson.

"Experts estimate that an incredible $12 billion of packaging materials still make it into North American landfills every year. Demand for solutions to this problem is expected to increase rapidly as more governments around the world adopt stricter regulations on the use and disposal of loose-fill packaging material, especially polystyrene foam peanuts. PaperNuts is well positioned to meet this demand with its innovative, eco-friendly, and cost-effective technology," Pearson concluded.

PaperNuts Corp. is a globally focused developer and marketer of innovative and environmentally friendly packaging solutions. PaperNuts owns proprietary technology and intellectual property originally developed in Finland that provides an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional protective packaging options that are often very harmful to the environment.
