cArtù® is an ecological, flexible and versatile single-material solution produced from certified raw materials (PEFC™ or FSC®) that can be used for multiple purposes. It can be used for several applications, such as: protection, cushioning, wrapping, separating, blocking, void filling and corner protection. With cArtù® it’s possible:
- Eliminate plastics and convert multi-material solutions (foam, bubble wraps, eps) into a sustainable mono-material solution;
- Simplify the packaging process and ensure optimization of packaging resources;
- Standardize the packaging shape across the range of similar products;
- Ensure product protection and safety by eliminating breakage;
- Improve the end customer’s perception of the value of the product through the packaging;
- Provide the end customer with a differentiating unboxing experience.
- Exceptional load capacity – Significant increase in vertical compression strength;
- Extraordinary flexibility – cArtù® is flexible and more versatile than any other cushioning material;
- Unbeatable lightweight – In terms of volume, cArtù® weighs up to two-thirds less than traditional cardboard;
- Replaces plastics and foams – More ecological and sustainable solution than plastics and foams;
- Water consumption 0% – The production of cArtù® does not require steam or drying plans, so water consumption is 0%;
- One solution, infinite applications – Due to its unique characteristics, cArtù® can be used for several purposes;
- Raw material savings: 70% – cArtù® saves up to 70% of raw material compared to traditional corrugated cardboard;
- CO₂ reduction: 80% – Reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional plastic or cardboard packaging.
- In terms of volume, cArtù® allows for up to 70% savings in raw material compared to traditional corrugated cardboard;
- 100% of the paper used to produce cArtù® is PEFC™ or FSC® certified;
- The production of cArtù® does not require steam and drying plans, resulting in 0% water consumption;
- An independent study has shown that the production of cArtù® reduces carbon dioxide emissions by up to 80% compared to plastic packaging or traditional cardboard. For example, producing 100.000 kg of cArtù® instead of:
– polystyrene we would avoid emitting -418,000kg of CO₂ into the environment, equal to what would be absorved by 59,976 trees, that would cover a surface área equal to 84 football fields;
– bubble film we would avoid emitting -256,000kg of CO₂ into the environment, equal to what would be absorved by 36,714 trees, that would cover a surface área equal to 51 football fields.
In terms of volume, cArtù® weighs up to two-thirds less than traditional cardboard and the production of cArtù® does not require steam or drying plans, so water consumption is 0%. cArtù® also saves up to 70% of raw material and reduces CO₂ emissions compared to traditional corrugated cardboard.
Compared to foams and plastics, cArtù® is more ecological and sustainable than plastics and foams, because it reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional plastic or cardboard packaging and it’s easy to recycle at the end of its life. For example, producing 100.000 kg of cArtù® instead of:
- polystyrene we would avoid emitting -418,000kg of CO₂ into the environment, equal to what would be absorved by 59,976 trees, that would cover a surface área equal to 84 football fields;
- bubble film we would avoid emitting -256,000kg of CO₂ into the environment, equal to what would be absorved by 36,714 trees, that would cover a surface área equal to 51 football fields.
