Recent Developments by Key Market Players

  • In November 2023, Kite Packaging introduced a technology for inflating and dispensing paper air cushions. This small plug-and-play system, which is made to create air cushions on demand, fits in perfectly with current packing setups and takes up a minimal amount of space. Made from 100% biodegradable, recyclable and compostable kraft paper, the cushions provide a sustainable substitute for conventional plastic air pillows.
  • In September 2022, DUNAPACK expanded its Air in Place line with the introduction of RIO, a new film composed of 70% recyclable and recycled plastic. The new RIO cushion, which comes in a variety of sizes, is designed to reduce the negative environmental effects of packing systems and the amount of virgin plastic used. The new range extension is just one more step in DUNAPACK's journey toward sustainability, which started in 2018 with the release of the TEO film.
