Hi all

I am looking for a supplier of eco-friendly packaging in the UK. The type of packaging you might use instead of polystyrene beads/peanuts.

I've found some great suppliers of the following products but they are all in the US :( :

- Expandos
- Geami
- Cushioncubes

As much as I would love to import these products, it really defeats the purpose of buying eco-friendly!

Any leads would be really useful

Thanks in advance! :)

Popcorn is another very popular eco packaging filler. I saw it being used recently by 'LUSH' that shop that you end up buying stupidly expensive soap from for your Missus...that's right you know the one I am talking about that makes the entire high street smell like one big bubble bath and gives you a headache.

Thanks Licenced to Trade.

It sounds interesting for packaging small items and gifts, but I need to source a supplier for large items and would need tonnes of popcorn which I feel would be a little impractical!

Thanks anyway!
