Sylvacurl Standard Natural wood curls make a superior packaging material because their unique interlocking ability suspends your product in a nest. This suspension inhibits product migration, horizontally or vertically, regardless of weight. Whether you're buying a single carton or a trailer-load of 500 bags, Sylvacurl will meet your needs. Wood curls are completely natural, 100% biodegradable, compostable, recyclable, safe for your products, safe for you, and safe for our environment, providing superior product protection with a small environmental footprint that tells your customers just how green you can be...even down to your choice of packaging materials. Sylvacurl has been tested in United Parcel Service laboratories with approved ratings. More importantly, Sylvacurl has been effectively used by companies for 15 years to protect and ship products nationally and globally! Sylvacurl has been used to package electronics, glassware, pottery and ceramics, gifts, organic foods, candles, soaps, live bedding plants, artwork, and machine parts. Sylvacurl is more than a pretty environmental material, it is a viable alternative to styrofoam packing peanuts and other chemical-based shipping products and materials.
Sylvacurl has a complete natural lifecycle and does not need to enter the solid waste stream. It can be reused as bedding for pets, mulch for gardens, fire starter, and even added directly to compost for added dry matter. Sylvacurl biodegrades in less than a year when left outside. Sylvacurl is made from logging by-products in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Sylvacurl production does not add to the tree harvest, but helps market otherwise unused timber through the creation of value-added wood products, helping to sustain healthy forest environments. Until the advent of plastics following WWII, wood shavings like excelsior were used to ship almost everything. We have improved on this idea to produce a true wood curl specifically designed for package protection. Sylvacurl is a natural product, not a chemical compound. We do not use chemical fertilizers or herbicides either, which means that Sylvacurl is a green product that is safe for the environment and safe for the people using it! Sylvacurl has been approved for sale to the US Government and recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency!
If you currently have a flow system in place for styrofoam packing peanuts, it is easy to use Sylvacurl in your existing system. Sylvacurl's unique interlocking ability gives it a distinct advantage in product protection. Rather than filling a void around your product, Sylvacurl creates a nest of linked curls that suspends objects.
