Packing Peanuts - 100% Biodegradable, Anti-Static
Description
Product Description
- Part Number:
- 49015
U-Haul packing peanuts are a 100% biodegradable, plant-based packing solution. This loose fill packing material is ideal for protecting oddly-shaped and fragile items like crystal vases, collectibles, glass figurines, and more. The flexible shape fills gaps in boxes to create a layer of soft cushion around your items that prevents them from shifting during transit. U-Haul packing peanuts are also anti-static, which makes them perfect for packing electronic devices for moving and shipping. Unlike Styrofoam peanuts, U-Haul packing peanuts are eco-friendly, non-toxic, and 100% compostable. Our packing peanuts are made from potato starch and corn starch, so they’re edible and safe for pets (and people!). By choosing biodegradable packing peanuts over Styrofoam packing peanuts, U-Haul customers have kept over 7.7 million cubic feet of Styrofoam out of landfills (600,000 cubic feet per year).
- Minimum of 1.5 cubic feet of peanuts in each bag
- Product weight: 0.72 lbs.
- 1 bag fills 1 U-Haul Small Moving Box
- Perfect for oddly-shaped and fragile items
- Lightweight for economical shipping
- Dust free, anti-static, and abrasion resistant
- Nontoxic and reusable
- Made from potato starch and corn starch
- Safe for the environment, people, and pets
- Certified compostable in personal and commercial compost facilities
- Dissolves in water

They are absolutely anti-static and don't cling to things you don't want them to. Being biodegradable is a plus for those who are environmentally conscious.
