EdgePak Straw Collar
Sustainable fiber-based pallet collar for one-way shipments
Nefab's EdgePak Straw Collar is a fiber-based pallet collar for one-way shipments. The EdgePak Straw Collar is 100% recyclable as paper and generates 50% lower CO2 emissions compared to wooden collars.
Straw-based solution
Nefab's EdgePak Straw Collar is made from strawboards that strengthen the packaging solution. The straw fibers are short and very stiff compared to wood fibers. The compact, wet mechanical process makes straw pulp more resistant to moisture than paper.
Improved Ergonomics
Made from straw-based materials, Nefab's fiber-based EdgePak Straw Collar is 58% lighter than wood-based solutions. EdgePak Straw Collar is also quick to assemble, which can be easily done in approximately 1 minute. This provides a quiet, safe, and ergonomic work environment.
Sustainable Solution
Nefab's EdgePak Straw Collar has fibers like paper and can be 100% recycled in the paper recycling stream. It also causes less impact on the environment by generating 50% lower CO2 emissions compared to wooden collars in one-way flows.
The benefits of one-way fiber-based pallet collars
EdgePak Straw Collar is a one-way fiber-based pallet collar that has evolved from our heavy-duty corrugated packaging solutions. The unique combination between corrugated packaging and foldable strawboard corners gives this solution an outstanding stacking strength of 800 kg in dynamic load. The strawboard also makes the packaging foldable to save space and create a safe work environment. The collars are exempt from ISPM-15 regulation for exports.
Making a difference with EdgePak Straw Collar
Environment
Straw solutions have a positive impact not only at the origin but also at the end destination, by minimizing landfills since the packaging solutions are easily recyclable as paper.
Health
Health is improved due to reduced CO2 emissions, since the straw can be used in the manufacturing of strawboard, rather than being burnt in the fields.
Community
Local communities also benefit from strawboard solutions by selling straw, which is the residue from their crops. Instead of being burnt as a residue, the straw becomes a source of income for these communities.
EdgePak Straw Collar Success Case
One of our customers is a Swedish multinational company that is the world's largest bearing manufacturer. They shared with us the data for a total cost analysis with the goal to evaluate the possibility to implement a one-way solution for dedicated flows. Previously, this well-known company used wooden collars for one-way flows, which was not optimal in terms of CO2 emissions. With a complete one-way fiber-based pallet collar solution, we were able to help them reduce cost and CO2 emissions in their supply chain.
With EdgePak Straw Collar, together with our customer, we developed an optimized solution made from sustainable materials, such as corrugated collars and strawboard corners. This made the packaging solution lighter and easier to handle with improved ergonomics. Additionally, fiber-based pallet collars provide financial and environmental savings: 53% lower CO2 output in 1-way flows, equivalent to 2678 vehicles driven for 1 year according to Nefab's GreenCALC.
