- THE WEEK, Page 20BUSINESSStyrofoam Blitz
-
- Wood shavings may offer relief from those pesky packing pellets
-
-
- They stick to your clothes, are devilishly difficult to
- sweep up and are lousy for the environment. Yet those
- ubiquitous, annoying Styrofoam pellets seem to swaddle just
- about every fragile object sent through the mail. Now Cal
- Garland, a Suwanee, Ga., lumberyard owner, has patented a
- machine that manufactures fluffy curls of paper-thin wood
- shavings that do the job just as well as polystyrene. And after
- the package is opened, just dump the wispy curlicues into your
- backyard: they also make a mighty fine mulch.
