Market trends:

Environmental concerns have become a priority for consumers, businesses and governments both globally and here in South Africa, with the demand for biodegradable alternatives to plastic hard to ignore.

Environmental aspects of the product life cycle are increasingly important. Every day more customers use sustainable packaging material and are refusing petroleum-based packaging now that alternatives are available. PaperFoam provides this opportunity for CDs and DVDs. PaperFoam is based on natural, environmentally-friendly materials.

Another trend is the wish of publishers to guarantee the authenticity of their products. PaperFoam may be produced only by licensed manufacturers. This means that the material cannot be pirated. PaperFoam packaging forms a unique guarantee for the authenticity of the packaged product.
