Olive Barn turns to Ranpak for Greener shipping

by Jacqueline D'Elia on June 28, 2008

Olive Barn turns to Ranpak for greener packing material. The results are in! We love this new equipment. It has saved us time and eliminated our need for bubblewrap and strofoam peanuts (both very unfriendly to the environment). Ranpak paper is 50-60% post consumer fiber/industrial recycled fiber.

The Fillpak TT® which we call “JJ” (from Star Wars):

The PadPak Jr.® which we call “Rosie” (from the Jetsons):

From Ranpak’s website: “Founded in 1972, Ranpak’s goal was to create the first environmentally responsible packaging material to effectively cushion and protect products during shipment. Today, Ranpak is still committed to this goal. Our packaging material is 100% recyclable, renewable and biodegradable making it an environmentally friendly alternative to other packaging materials on the markets.” In the Houston area? Call Lauren Mann of Hisco Inc. at (713) 934-1600 and she’ll help your business too! Outside Houston? Hisco Inc. has offices nationwide.
