BeforeLeave the Egg Crate Foam To The Chickens!

Preserving our planet is very important to us, which is why we made the switch to become a more eco-friendly company. We are proud to announce that we made changes to ship our products safely without the use of high-density foam packaging.

Did you know...

  • Reports show that packaging materials make up about a third of an average landfill
  • Foam packaging is made from polyurethane, which can irritate your eyes, nose, and throat
  • Manufacturers of polyurethane foam have seen elevated cancer rates   
The new packaging consists of recyclable cardboard, which is much safer for our environment, and much easier for our customers dispose of after shipment. Recycling one ton of cardboard saves over nine cubic yards of landfill space. It also saves 24 percent of the total energy needed for virgin cardboard. Much like our new packaging, our SmartMotors are actually very green too! Learn More!  

Don't worry, all of our SmartMotors, Actuators, and other products will still arrive safely!
