Is biodegradable packaging a viable alternative to polystyrene packaging?
Yes! Biodegradable packing peanuts out-perform polystyrene loose fill packaging in crush tests, providing a more resilient cushioning product. Typical polystyrene-based foam packaging tends to migrate or snap within a box when pressed under the weight of a product. See how they compare in crush test performance results. StarchTech’s Mighty I biodegradable packing peanuts have a unique “I” shape that lets them interlock and flex to cushion around a product and to stay put under pressure. This unique feature keeps your product from shifting during transit.
