PROTECTIVE PAPER PACKAGING BRINGS BIG RECYCLING MESSAGE TO LIFE

摘要

An ocean reef made from a paper-based packaging structure may sound like a very unlikely proposition, but that's exactly what thousands of visitors to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, Tex., have seen for themselves first-hand this past summer. Constructed entirely from several hundred sheets of the Hexacomb brand of honeycomb protective packaging manufactured by the Buffalo Grove, 111.-based Hexacomb Corporation, a division of Boise, Idaho-headquartered paper products group Boise, Inc., the temporary exhibit featured an elaborate 4,000 square foot reef ecosystem-complete with kelp beds, a shipwreck and deep-sea sections-was assembled specifically to promote the importance of recycling by highlighting the inherent benefits of paper-based protective packaging made from renewable wood fibers.
