ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY GREEN PACKAGING

RMadillo Packaging is committed to providing the most eco-friendly packaging that is possible giving you the option of using products that are bio-degradable and/or manufactured from recycled material and that are manufactured from a high percentage of recycled material.

We are also committed to reducing our "carbon footprint" and we continually strive to minimise the impact of our products on the environment. We feel that not only is this the right thing to do but by saving us money we can pass the savings on to you, the customer.

We also recycle all our waste using a local refuse collection company that specialises in recycling. We also use eco-friendly lighting in our offices and warehouse reducing both our costs and our impact on the environment.

Boxes

RMadillo Boxes are manufactured using 90%+ recycled material (only the outer of the box is not and that is made from a sustainable source), the boxes are fully bio-degradable and able to be recycled.

Bubble Wrap

RMadillo are please to be able to offer Sancell-bio™ Bubble wrap the most environmentally friendly bubble wrap available.

Clean, safe and now fully oxo-biodegradable, sancell-bio™ is the most eco-friendly bubble film cushioning available in the UK. Free from heavy metals and safe to be deposited in landfill, Sancell-bio™ will rapidly degrade leaving a cleaner environment for our future.

The table below shows how Sancell-bio™ outperforms normal bubble film in terms of oxo-biodegradability over time.

Incorporating a photo-initiating control, the breakdown process will not significantly commence before the product is discarded. Once the breakdown process has been triggered, there is a built in ‘dwell time’ before embrittlement begins, meaning that sancell-bio™ is fit for purpose in normal usage.

Padded Envelopes (Jiffy Bags)

Our Bubble Padded Envelopes by both Jiffy and Mailite are manufactured partially from recycled material and the kraft paper outer is sourced from sustainable forests. Both Bubble padded envelopes are recyclable (though you should ideally separate the inner bubble bag from the outer).

Jiffy however do do a range of Padded Bags (their original Jiffy Bag) Find them under Jiffy Padded bags in our list. These are filled with 100% recycled paper padding and the kraft paper outer is sourced from sustainable forests. They are therefore fully recyclable without the need to detach the inner lining.

Jiffy also package all their envelopes in boxes that are 100% recycled material and fully recyclable
