Straw insulating packaging

Landbox

The Landbox is a straw-based alternative to conventional polystyrene packaging. Every year, a large amount of this agricultural by-product remains unused. Landpack uses 1,500 tons of straw per year to press it using thermal processes with steam and pressure. The stalks are preserved and hardly damaged mechanically. As the market price is €80 per tonne of straw and the company, which is based in Alling, Bavaria, pays up to €140 to local farmers, it is also a lucrative business for the producers. While the Land Biois starch-based and can be disposed of in organic waste, the Landbox Duo belongs in residual waste due to its plastic wrapping. Both boxes can maintain a constant temperature of up to -18 °C in combination with dry ice or up to 4 °C with cooling elements. The boxes are already being used in the pharmaceutical industry, food retail and medicine.
