Plastic loosefill and the environment?
The minimum recycled content in plastic loosefill is 25%. Some loosefill has 100% recycled content. Through the national reuse program for plastic loosefill, the Peanut Hotline, member businesses, on average, use 50% reused loosefill in their outbound shipments. Over 30% of all plastic loosefill is reused. Plastic loosefill is an expanded polystyrene product made up of 99.6% air. Because of its light weight and sturdy nature, it provides excellent protection for fragile shipments and adds little to shipping weight. For more information click on Environmental Questions.
