Foam cushioning applications
Secure transport and logistics
Protects glassware, electronics and furniture against impact.
Storage without risk of deterioration
Protects products from scratches, impacts and damage.
Protecting sensitive industrial objects
Ideal for mechanical components and chemicals.
More reliable e-commerce packaging

Foam cushioning: definition and uses
Foam cushioning protects products by absorbing shocks during transport, storage and handling.
Thanks to innovative materials such as EPS, EPP, PE and circular materials like NEOPS®, the integrity of goods is preserved, customer returns are reduced and logistics are optimized. A made-to-measure solution for effectively securing fragile objects.
Durable, recyclable cushioning
Knauf Industries is committed to cushioning solutions in line with the circular economy.
Thanks to the Knauf Circular® program, our foams are collected, recycled and reused to limit ecological impact. Our sustainable and recyclable materials also help reduce the use of traditional plastics, while guaranteeing optimum performance and protection for the products transported.
NEOPS®: durable, high-performance foam
NEOPS® is an alternative to EPS, made from renewable resources. The properties of EPS are identical, such as lightness and impact resistance, while reducing the use of fossil resources. Neops® is versatile, suitable for a variety of sectors, including food, logistics and packaging. An ideal solution for high-performance, long-lasting cushioning.
