Packaging manufacturer smurfit kappa has developed a liner for corrugated boxes that is said to protect products ranging from glass to rubber that are susceptible to scratching and scuffing. The liner named skuffguard eliminates the need for protective packaging such as bubble wrap therefore reducing the size of the box itself. This means lower packaging costs, better palletisation, and less time spent packaging for the manufacturer and unpacking the product on the retail end. Less refuse is produced at the end of the supply chain, which will help retailers reduce their carbon footprint, and there is a single waste stream for recycling, which will help retailers be more efficient in waste disposal the product is 100 recyclable.
