How straw material waste can help reduce CO2 emissions

Burning agricultural straw residue is a common method to dispose of waste after harvesting seasons in some parts of the world.

 

Burning agricultural straw residue is a common method to dispose of waste after harvesting seasons in some parts of the world. While being a traditional practice, it’s also one that increases CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. EdgePak Straw is a sustainable packaging solution made from straw waste. Besides being recyclable, the solution avoids straw waste being burnt which in turn contributes to reducing CO2 emissions. The local communities also benefit from it by earning money from the residue of their crops.

At Nefab, we optimize packaging and logistics solutions that generate benefits for customers, for society and for the environment.

    Optimized Foam Inserts for Cleanroom-bound Products

    Our customer was using a legacy packaging design for the RPS (Remote Plasma Source) Adapters that was inefficient and costly. Their traditional "coffin-style" foam inserts consumed excess material, leading to higher expenses, more waste, and a larger carbon footprint. By re-engineering the packaging, we developed a streamlined, resource-efficient solution that provided the necessary protection while significantly reducing material use and volumetric weight.
