Cruz foam is made from chitin, a material found in shrimp shells, insects and fungi.
The steep rise of e-commerce has been a boon for consumers, but the packaging that goes with it is a massive downside for the planet. All that single-use plastic and Styrofoam, especially for cold packaging, is contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and consequently climate change., say they are trying to reduce packaging, but of the 380 million tons of plastic produced annually about half of it is for single-use purposes, like product packaging and Styrofoam.
The foam is made from chitin, a material found in shrimp shells, insects, and fungi. It is biodegradable, so you can either compost it or it will just degrade quickly itself in a landfill. Felts calls it"earth digestible." Since it is made from waste, the costs are lower than other biomaterials. And Cruz Foam doesn't make the packages, rather it provides packagers with the material.
