    ]]>     What is polystyrene loose fill ? 

    These are lightweight chips of expanded polystyrene which absorb shock very effectively.

    They are also know an ‘packing peanuts’.

    They have been a very popular packaging product mainly because of its versatility and ease of use.

    Available as standard or biodegradable.

    It quickly fills gaps and cushions products very effectively.

    Expanded polystyrene is actually 98% air, making it one of the lightest packaging materials.

    This is the main reason for its popularity as not only does it protect but adds very little weight to the packaging which keeps transport and fuel emissions low – another green positive !

    Despite its very low weight, it is remarkably tough.

    An environmentally friendly packaging product because it is 100% CFC free, re-usable, non-toxic and recyclable.
