Area of expertise: Environmental packaging

KTM manufactures and distributes Green Cell™ biodegradable foam – the only earth-friendly foam available in today’s protective packaging market. Green Cell is made from US-grown, non-GMO cornstarch and is available in sheets and planks. It passes all global environmental mandates for biodegradability in soil and water environments and reduces energy requirements up to 70% as compared to PE foam.

Green Cell provides unparalleled protective performance: multi-shock capable, naturally anti-static and moisture absorbing qualities. Green Cell also provides outstanding convenience in disposal: is can be easily and safely composted, dissolved in water, recycled with corrugate or even burned. Customers will really appreciate this difference.

If you are looking to improve the performance and environmental footprint of your packaging, Green Cell may be just what you’re looking for. For over the past five years, companies - including Toyota, Volvo, Hitachi, Sony, BMW, Delphi and others - have trusted their products to Green Cell. Contact us for samples or more information.

Green Cell™ - what message are you sending?
