Sealed Air, an American packaging company, set itself apart with the launch of its new 100 percent recyclable mailer known as 'Mail Lite.' The new sustainable packaging solution is part of the brand's commitment to be 100% recyclable or reusable by 2025.
To make the Mail Lite mailer recyclable, the brand replaced the PE coated paper with non-coated Kraft Paper. In regards to the AirCap bubble liner, it's now welded at the top, bottom, and sides to allow it to be recycled and it was created using a minimum of 60% post-consumer recycled content.
To recycle the Mail Lite mailer, simply separate the inner bubble from the outer paper and place them both in your recycling bin.
