1. Wrapping articles for shipping as a substitute for bubble wrap
2. Dunnage in packages
Rudimentary tests have been conducted on hand-made samples, where the impact resistance and ruggedness was tested. the internal wrapping and dunnage function was not seen to be any different from bubble wrap. Since the bubbles of the bubble wrap could be bursted, Paprap performed better for external wrapping function
We have applied for the design patent, and it is in the status of patent pending.
Using the similar concept, we can make substitutes for air-pillows, corrugated envelopes etc.
Since PapRap does not have bubbles that can be burst, it can be used more than once. Even if the outer layer is torn or even tattered, it can be used as dunnage in packing
Recycling means that the product is brought back to its raw form, thereby using a certain amount of energy, water, and other resources for conversion—in this case for pulping. For upcycling, the product does not even have to go to the mills but is locally transformed more often only physically, thereby conserving precious natural resources.
The ‘PapRapper’ can be made and installed in Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns where the local carton boxes are upcycled to make PapRap. These enterprises, while generating self- employment and entrepreneurship, will ensure that the carton waste is converted at source itself for nearby manufacturing units
