Crownhill Packaging’s ExpandOS™ Are Next Generation of Eco-Friendly Void Fills

Crownhill Packaging adopts patented ExpandOS™ void fills in an effort to move closer to producing a carbon neutral environmental footprint.

Brampton, Canada, May 30, 2012 --(PR.com)-- “Environmentally safe.” It’s a phrase not commonly associated with packing and shipping void fill materials. Until now. Canada’s Crownhill Packaging has pledged to change the way individuals and businesses safely transport goods (including breakables) to one another with their implementation of eco-friendly ExpandOS™ by Vertex.

Available only through licensed distributors, ExpandOS are deceptively-small, triangular-shaped void fills made from 100 percent post-industrial waste paper/cardboard components that meet Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) requirements. Though their design appears simple, their patented power to protect merchandise while keeping in compliance with the “green” standards has become essential to progressive organisations around the globe.

“Adopting ExpandOS as a trustworthy void fill method was a natural decision for our company,” notes John Ponzo, President, Crownhill. “At Crownhill, we have consistently sought out new technologies that enable us to give our customers exceptional shipping experiences while being as gentle on the ecosystem as possible. With ExpandOS, we feel we can make a difference that our clients – and their clients – will immediately see.”

Crownhill Packaging supports innovative void fill methods to back SFI, of which the corporation has been a member since 2010. Consequently, Crownhill has been dedicated to systematically and judiciously reducing the company’s carbon footprint.

As a result of its reputation as a leader in environmentally-friendly void fills and packaging materials, Crownhill received the Rainforest Alliance certification. Additionally, Crownhill has adopted supply chain methodologies accepted by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), of which it has been a certified member for the past two years.

Says Ponzo, “The Rainforest Alliance has a vision that matches our own. They wish to transform land-use practices and consumer behaviors, as do we. As a business that deals with paper-related products, we have the opportunity to truly make long-term changes that will benefit current and future generations.”

ExpandOS void fills have been deemed effective for all types of commonly-shipped products, including those which require extra handling care. More information about their revolutionary design can be found at www.expandos.com.
