-- Globe Packaging has expanded its range of biodegradable bubble wrap rolls, offering options for e‑commerce businesses and warehouses seeking more sustainable packaging materials. The range features 500mm‑wide rolls with small air bubbles, made from low‑density polythene with a biodegradable additive that accelerates breakdown in landfill‑like conditions. This development aligns with the UK government's Resources and Waste Strategy, which encourages businesses to adopt reusable, recyclable, or compostable packaging as part of a broader shift towards a circular economy.

The timing of this expansion reflects increasing regulatory and consumer pressure on UK businesses to reduce packaging waste, in line with the UK Government's Resources and Waste Strategy and forthcoming Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) reforms. Traditional plastic bubble wrap, typically composed of low‑density polythene, can take a significant amount of time to decompose in landfills, contributing to long‑term pollution and resource depletion.
Globe Packaging's biodegradable bubble wrap addresses these challenges by combining protective performance with improved end‑of‑life characteristics when compared to standard bubble wrap. The 500mm‑wide rolls deliver shock absorption through small air bubbles, helping to safeguard fragile items during shipping, moving, and storage. The blended polymer composition includes an additive designed to help the material break down more quickly than conventional plastic bubble wrap when disposed of in landfill‑like conditions. The product is also reusable and can be collected by some film recycling schemes where facilities exist, extending its lifecycle and helping to reduce overall waste generation.
By offering material that is designed to biodegrade more rapidly under specific conditions and can be reused, Globe Packaging enables companies to respond to customer expectations for more responsible packaging without compromising the safety of goods in transit. Industry guidance on biodegradable plastics indicates that environmental outcomes depend on appropriate waste management practices and the availability of suitable recycling or disposal options, reinforcing the need for businesses to understand how such materials are handled locally.
The range includes multiple roll sizes (400mm, 750mm, and 1500mm) to accommodate different operational needs, with the 500mm width serving as a versatile option for various packaging applications. Free mainland UK delivery is offered on all orders over £50 (excluding VAT), and strong stock availability helps ensure accessibility for businesses across the country.
"We understand the importance of being environmentally friendly, and do stock a full range of 100% recyclable and 100% recycled products, as well as our standard range," explained a spokesperson for Globe Packaging. "Whether you need packaging supplies for your business requirements or for personal demands, our vast range of products represents the best value for money online."
