Biodegradable air cushions are the next generation of sustainable packaging. From manufacturing to disposal, biodegradable air cushions are made to provide superior product protection along with being environment friendly. Biodegradable air cushions are made from recyclable material which consists of additive property that will allow the product to degrade in the presence of microorganisms within 9 to 60 months. Thus, when this biodegradable air cushions are disposed it fully degrades into water and carbon dioxide within four to six weeks. This enables the biodegradable air cushions to be an environment friendly alternative to traditional void fill materials. Therefore, producers who have adopted biodegradable air cushions mainly use it for protective packaging applications owing to the fact that it is water and heat resistant and will not break down or disintegrate while being used. Thus, the outlook for the growth of the global biodegradable air cushions market is expected to remain largely positive during the forecast period.
