Our Pledge to Protect the Planet
Recycling Since 1949
Our family of companies have been a part of the recycling industry since 1949. Collectively Nu-Wool Co., LLC and Cellulose Material Solutions recycle over 70 million pounds of fibers and paper particles a year with the capacity to recycle much more. Recycling is crucial in the environmental impact we create and our focus is to continue expanding the circular marketplace with additional recycled products.
Protecting Our Environment
Our team is passionate about creating end markets for recycled fibers. We turn what would have been waste into premium products that are good for the environment, your business, products and customers. For example, 1 square foot of an InfinityCore liner prevents 5 plastic water bottles from entering a landfill or waterway. We are protecting our planet one plastic liner at a time!
The Full Package of Sustainability
When it comes to packaging, we focus on the environment by sustaining your pay load. Spoiled or damaged products have a larger waste impact on our world than many companies realize. When we talk sustainability, we look at how our products were sourced, manufactured, and shipped. Finally, we look at how they perform during their useful life and how they can be recovered and reused after it is over.
Zero manufacturing Waste
All our products are recyclable back into our own lines in our mission to zero manufacturing waste. The products manufactured by CMS have also passed multiple sets of industrial recycling tests to show how they can be recycled curbside or by recycling facilities.
If your company ships perishable or fragile items, reach out to see how we can help provide a sustainable and reliable packaging solution!
