In 2021, recycled textile sheets known as PTR were launched as a complement to expanding wadding, offering distinct technical characteristics.
Technical specifications :
This innovation, dubbed OuatboxTECH, represents an innovative cushioning solution, made from a blend of textile fibers such as cotton, wool, linen and hemp, guaranteeing uniform, ecological and high-performance cushioning.
Made in France from 100% recycled and recyclable materials, these recycled textile sheets have been specially designed to meet the requirements of shipping in various sectors such as logistics, industry and e-commerce. They can be used in a variety of containers such as cartons, metal boxes or wooden crates, adapting to different logistical needs.
Boasting impressive technical features, these sheets offer progressive crush density for optimum shock absorption, while folding 180 degrees without risk of tearing. Their good puncture resistance and high resilience to frequent compression make them an ideal choice for protecting goods in transit.
Furthermore, these sheets have the advantage of being chemically neutral, thus avoiding any undesirable reaction with the products they protect. They do not generate corrosion and are non-abrasive, preserving the integrity of the objects they encase. What’s more, they are reusable and recyclable, helping to reduce the environmental footprint of logistics operations.
The Packaging Oscars :
In 2022, OuatboxTECH was honored at the prestigious Packaging Oscars, winning an Oscar in the “industrial packaging” category, thanks to the support of renowned European distributor, Raja. This recognition perfectly illustrates the success and impact of this innovative cushioning solution in the packaging and logistics sector.
An innovative cushioning solution :
OuatboxTECH PTR sheets meet the requirements of the brand-new independent “Protection Efficiency” and “Sustainable Sourcing” labels. To earn these distinctions, OuatboxTECH underwent a rigorous assessment by an independent company, which thoroughly tested its properties to strict standards.
The “Protection Efficiency” label aims to reflect the various stresses to which packages may be subjected in a wide range of situations, following a meticulous assessment protocol.
As for the “Sustainable Sourcing” label, it assesses the eco-responsibility aspects of the product, guaranteeing that it is made from natural or recycled materials. This confirms OuatboxTECH’s commitment to environmental sustainability and transparency in its manufacturing practices.
