Instead of using foam peanuts, that make a mess and are not friendly to the environment, we use something called Instapak. Unlike most packaging products, Instapak foam is produced on site, in the exact amount we need. To do this, two liquid components are mixed and dispensed through specialized equipment. As the two components react with one another, they expand and surround the item being packaged, forming a custom-fit, protective cushion. This process and the foam's high-performance characteristics mean less foam may be used when packing a product and much better secured products.
Some of the very cool features of Instapak are:
- Source Reduction/Waste Minimization.
- The Option Of Reusing the foam cushions for multiple shipments of the same product.
- Recyclable And Disposable. Instapak offers a return program, plus Instapak can be easily disposed of without many of the drawbacks that comes with other foam alternatives.
This is all just another way we at B-K Lighting are enforcing our Green Source Initiative to help make our planet a cleaner and safer place.
