What are Forever Green air cushions?
Forever Green air cushions are produced on demand using compact rolls of recycled film and a simple, affordable inflation machine. The film is 99% air and 1% recycled plastic material — a unique blend of minimum material and maximum protection that provides unparalleled cushioning for products in transit.
Our air cushion film is made from recycled materials and is fully recyclable at end of life. Each roll ships flat and compact, replacing up to six bulky bags of packing peanuts in equivalent void fill capacity. The result is a solution that is greener, quicker to use, and significantly cheaper than the alternatives — all from a single compact machine on your packing bench..
Key features of the Forever Green air cushion system
There are six core reasons why businesses switch from packing peanuts, bubble wrap, or other void fill to Forever Green air cushions. Here is what each one means for your operation.
1. 99% Air & 1% Recycled Material
A unique blend of minimum material and maximum protection. Air provides unparalleled cushioning for products, significantly reducing damages and returns during transit. The cushions conform to the shape of the product and maintain their position throughout the journey — unlike loose fill which settles and shifts.
Our film is made from recycled materials and is fully recyclable at the end of its life, keeping it out of landfill. QR codes printed on every cushion guide your customers directly to our Return 2 Recycle service, making recycling effortless and giving your brand genuine eco credentials.
Best for: Businesses shipping fragile, high-value, or breakable items that need consistent, reliable protection.
Cost: Film made from recycled content — up to 70% less expensive than packing peanuts and bubble wrap.

2. Multiple Cost Savings
The cost advantages of air cushions go beyond the like-for-like material price. One roll of film replaces six bags of packing peanuts — immediately cutting material costs, storage space, and delivery costs for restocking your packaging supplies.
By producing cushions on demand, you eliminate waste from over-production and over-ordering. Your inventory is reduced to a single compact roll rather than a stockroom full of bulky bags. Storage costs fall, reordering is simpler, and your packing team works faster with a clean, consistent void fill system..
Best for: Any business looking to reduce total packaging spend, not just material cost per unit..
Cost: Up to 70% less expensive than packing peanuts and bubble wrap on a like-for-like basis.

5. One Machine, Many Applications
Each Forever Green air cushion machine can be used for multiple packaging roles — from compostable to recyclable films, and from 200mm cushions to 800mm bubble quilts. This versatility reduces your overall packaging inventory while giving you the flexibility to handle a wide range of product types and box sizes from a single machine.
The system also provides branding opportunities. Your company name and logo can be printed on the cushions, turning your void fill into a brand touchpoint inside every parcel your customers open. For businesses building a premium unboxing experience, this is a meaningful added value.
Best for: Businesses shipping a varied product range or wanting to build brand identity into their packaging.
Cost: One machine investment covers multiple applications — no need for separate systems.
