**Environmentally Friendly Packaging for Green Businesses** By Jake Kirk • Monday, 3rd January 2022 ![Packaging Image](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/258d7496b3bc9bd6422df0dca962690f.jpg) The packaging industry has long been under scrutiny for its role in the UK’s waste crisis. The overuse of plastic and other harmful materials like polystyrene has contributed significantly to environmental degradation. At Kite, we’ve been challenging these norms since our inception by offering sustainable, plastic-free alternatives wherever possible. Our commitment to eco-friendly packaging is driven by a unique employee share-ownership model, where every team member—from those in product development to customer service—plays a part in promoting green solutions. In this blog, we’ll highlight some standout products from our range that can replace common, unsustainable packaging materials. These options not only offer strong environmental benefits but also deliver superior performance and often cost less. We believe that eco-friendly packaging should be accessible to all businesses, regardless of size or budget. --- **Envirobox** ![Envirobox](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/f1e79e48ca05ae728448d02d5ec8a8bf.jpg) Developed in partnership with WRAP back in 2005, Enviroboxes are a durable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional double wall cartons. Made with less cardboard, they maintain the same strength while being 7% lighter, which helps reduce transport costs and carbon emissions. Available in 10 sizes, from 12 x 9 x 9 inches up to 30 x 18 x 18 inches, they’re ideal for shipping heavy items and large quantities. Many models feature hand holes and multi-score designs for added versatility. **Alternative to:** Double Wall Boxes **Environmental Credentials:** - 7% lighter than double wall cardboard - 30% fewer CO2 emissions during production - 50% less cardboard waste compared to standard boxes --- **Envirostretch** ![Envirostretch](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/b75e61a4aa5118831c33334a0e009fdd.jpg) Stretch film is a key material in many operations, but it often leads to significant cardboard waste as the rolls are discarded after use. Envirostretch solves this problem with its coreless design, eliminating cardboard waste entirely. It’s available in 17 and 20 microns, making it suitable for both medium and heavy-duty applications. Its lightweight construction makes it easier to handle, especially in high-throughput environments. **Alternative to:** Standard Pallet Wrap **Environmental Credentials:** - 100% reduction in cardboard waste - 25% wider than standard pallet wrap, reducing material use --- **Hivewrap** ![Hivewrap](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/3f317c34e201bb06ac2a6930aa742f5d.jpg) Bubble wrap is one of the most harmful yet widely used packaging materials. Hivewrap offers a sustainable alternative made from 100% recyclable and biodegradable kraft paper. Its honeycomb structure provides excellent impact protection and flexibility, making it perfect for irregularly shaped items. Available in brown or white, it also saves space and reduces costs significantly. **Alternative to:** Bubble Wrap **Environmental Credentials:** - 100% recyclable and biodegradable - Plastic-free - Reduces space by 20 times - 35% cost saving compared to bubble wrap --- **Envirochips (EcoFlo)** ![Envirochips](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/e0e9f84b6691c6b4bc96cc4160fc5c35.jpg) EcoFlo, our starch-based loose fill, is an eco-friendly replacement for polystyrene chips. Designed to fit around products perfectly, it offers better protection while being fully biodegradable and compostable. It’s ideal for filling gaps and absorbing shocks during transit. **Alternative to:** Polystyrene Loose Fill Chips **Environmental Credentials:** - 100% biodegradable and compostable - No hazardous decomposition byproducts --- **Eco Mailing Bags** ![Eco Mailing Bags](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/dc846424cc64b84289f361fdd09be2a8.jpg) White sugar cane envelopes are a great alternative to polythene mailing bags. They have the same physical properties but are carbon neutral, as the sugar cane absorbs CO2 during growth. They are also fully recyclable and do not rely on fossil fuels, helping reduce environmental impact. **Alternative to:** Polythene Mailing Bags **Environmental Credentials:** - Made from the greenest material available - Carbon neutral - Fully recyclable --- **Solid Board Edge Protection** ![Solid Board Edge Protection](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/6ae9dd8600e18cfa8bbf8664198adaf7.jpg) Traditional foam edge protection is bulky and slow to degrade. Solid board, made from recycled materials, offers a sustainable alternative that can be recycled again after use. It’s densely packed for maximum protection during transport. **Alternative to:** Foam Protection **Environmental Credentials:** - Contains recycled content - Fully recyclable - Plastic-free --- **ZigZag Shredded Paper & Tissue** ![Shredded Paper](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/1cc919f0b9042bb575e9c54355f8cc22.jpg) Our ZigZag shredded paper is FSC-certified, reusable, and biodegradable. It fits into tight spaces and protects items during transit. Available in multiple colors, it enhances the unboxing experience and supports brand identity. **Alternative to:** Polystyrene Loose Fill Chips **Environmental Credentials:** - Reusable - Recyclable - Biodegradable --- **Kraft Paper Tape** ![Kraft Paper Tape](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/9922ee4a5b99c3959bb1b5c77b9c2c5d.jpg) Plastic tape can interfere with recycling processes. Kite’s kraft paper tape is fully recyclable and vegan-friendly. Available in brown or white, it provides strong adhesion without compromising sustainability. **Alternative to:** Polythene Tape **Environmental Credentials:** - Acid-free - Vegan-friendly - 100% recyclable --- These are just a few examples of how Kite is leading the way in sustainable packaging.
