About the challenge to meet

Airpad (air cushions) is a goods protection solution made up of 99% air, ensuring reliability, adaptability, flexibility, ease of use, and universality.

In cases where collection and recycling of the air cushion cannot be guaranteed, a fully compostable product is needed.


About the solution: Airpad™ BIO Home Compost®, the first biodegradable Home Compost air cushion, commercialized by FROMM

Airpad™ BIO Home Compost® air cushions are made from biodegradable materials, thus minimizing environmental impact while providing effective protection for goods.

Airpad™ BIO Home Compost® fully disintegrates in less than 6 months under composting conditions, even at room temperature (an innovation certified by TüV Austria “OK Compost Home”).

Airpad™ BIO Home Compost® is an innovation that meets the requirements for protection and cushioning systems in sectors such as transport/storage and represents an eco-friendly solution for this type of packaging.

  • A compostable ready-to-use solution, even at room temperature, using a specific blend of biopolymers and CARBIOS Active
