At Plymouth Foam (PF), our pursuit to be industry leaders in technology and innovation has led to new, greener packaging solutions both businesses and consumers can support. Our PF trademark, Earthhide™, is an eco-friendly solution to meet protective packaging needs. From initial manufacturing in the USA to product use and disposal, this solution holds an ASTM D5511 compliant life cycle.
After use, Earthhide™ packaging materials can be disposed of in either a landfill or recycling center. While in a landfill, it is broken down into reusable methane via organic biodegradation. Then, the materials consuming the material via organic biodegradation produce humus and biogas for clean, reliable energy. In simple terms, it is an environmentally responsible choice for users.
Where is Earthhide™ Used?
Earthhide™ is typically used in the following industries:
- Protective Packaging – Shock and vibration protection, in the small parcel shipping environment, and in other distribution cycles, has been one of the most often used applications for foam packaging.
- Food and Beverage – Expanded polystyrene insulated shipping containers keep foods and beverages very well insulated and are perfect for shipping a wide variety of temperature sensitive products.
- Pharmaceutical – Expanded polystyrene insulated shipping containers keep medicine and pharmaceutical items very well insulated and are perfect for shipping a wide variety of temperature sensitive products.
- Appliance and OEM – Our thorough understanding of the physical properties of foam materials enables us to provide OEM solutions that make the best use of the chosen materials for the application.
