Geämi: Metaefficient Packing Material

Geämi RollGeämi is a new biodegradable and very effective packing material. The name means “earth (ge) friend (ami)” in Latin and Greek.

The Geämi system expands kraft paper into a honeycomb with thousands of little hexagonal cells. The result is a lightweight, extremely protective material that reduces overall packing size. Geämi packaging is also easily recyclable and is biodegradable.

Crate & Barrel is currently switching over to Geämi for their wrapping material needs. No more bubblewrap or polystyrene peanuts!

Wonder if they are considering developing a material that can be used for building insulation.
