Many businesses are taking steps to be more sustainable. In addition to making products that are more eco-conscious, there’s a simple way to be more sustainable with every shipment: your packaging and dunnage. Your selection of shipping solutions is a perfect place to start making eco-friendly adjustments without sacrificing the quality of your product protection. When you turn to recyclable void fill options, you can enjoy a range of benefits, from enhanced customization options to cost savings, superior strength and durability, and sustainability.
Read on to explore the top recyclable void fill options and learn what other eco-friendly options you can consider to keep your products safe through transit.
What is Recyclable Void Fill? Everything You Need to Know
Void fill is a powerful solution for addressing empty spaces in your shipping containers. When there are gaps between your products, they can shift during transit, which can risk damage and cause safety issues when it’s time to unload. With the right dunnage, you can fill voids to keep your products – and your teams – protected.
Void filler can be designed in custom sizes, shapes, and styles to address load shifting based on your specific needs. When you make it out of recyclable solutions like corrugated materials, you can leverage a sustainable option that doesn’t compromise quality or performance. Recyclable void fill is made from eco-friendly materials that aim to reduce waste while still providing the durability you demand.
Not every void fill option is recyclable, and not every recyclable void fill is top quality — that’s why it’s important to choose the right solutions from a proven partner.

The SADDLE-PAK® is a recyclable void fill option with a unique design that allows you to store it flat, then expand it to slip over single pallet units for multi-level protection. It helps maintain proper axle weight distribution by distributing additional weight to the rear, away from the nose.
LEDGE-PAK
The LEDGE-PAK is a quality bulkhead void filler that collapses. It’s used for the prevention of load shift that can occur with pallet underhang, and it’s patent-protected for its effectiveness. (US. Patent No. 8,308,411)
