GEÄMI, meaning "earth (ge) friend (ami)", is a high performance, renewably sourced paper based protective packaging material that is both 100% recyclable and compostable. Founded in 1994, the North Carolina based company currently supplies sustainable packaging products to many of the top brand names in the house ware, electronic, home décor, natural/organic food, cosmetics and beauty industries. The GEÄMI protective packaging system features a patented die-cut paper that when expanded, creates a honeycomb web of angled cells. A layer of tissue paper is interleaved to produce a cost-effective packaging material that is used to wrap and protect items during small parcel shipment. GEÄMI is a sustainable replacement for petroleum based protective packaging materials such as bubble and foam type wraps.
