AirSpeed® Renew®
AirSpeed® Renew® contains a minimum of 30% post-consumer recycled content, claim certified by PolyCert, supporting the circular economy by repurposing materials at the end of their life. It is designed for optimal packaging, providing reliable void fill and protective solutions.
Product Details
Pregis uses post-consumer content in all its AirSpeed Renew products. An impressive percentage that we are constantly trying to increase as much as possible. Post-consumer content has completed its life cycle as a consumer item and would otherwise have been disposed, like cans, plastic bottles and packaging.
We are committed to a circular economy, repurposing post-consumer content for new packaging. Made from materials that have already served end-users, Pregis Renew products are recyclable through local existing recycling streams.
Each air cushion is printed with water-based ink. Due to variations in PCR material sources, cushion shades may range from dark grey to nearly transparent, with subtle blue or green hues.
PolyCert Certified
Renew air cushions meet rigorous sustainability standards through independent certifications. The post-consumer recycled (PCR) content claims are PolyCert certified, verifying their compliance with ISO 14021 sustainability guidelines from sourcing to production.
At Pregis, we minimize CO2 emissions by using Post Consumer Recycled content. Using recycled content generates less CO2 emission than using virgin resources (plastic produced out of oil). And the use of post-consumer recycled content generates less CO2 emissions than the use of post-industrial recycled content.
Using a 100% PCR alternative to virgin LDPE material reduces carbon emissions by 50.81%*, fossil fuel usage by 85.06%* and water usage by 85.82%* cradle to grave in Europe according to an Internal life cycle assessment(s) conducted using COMPASS, an ISO 14040/14044 conformant LCA software.
