By employing the patented PaperNuts Converter machine, the firm offers a loose-fill packaging solution that can replace polystyrene foam plastic peanut fillers, bubble wrap, air pillows, crumpled paper, foam-in-place, and corn starch peanut products.

The biodegradable and fully recyclable PaperNuts products serve as a cost-effective green alternative to competitive fillers that are made from 100% recycled paper.

Upon completion of the acquisition, Axiom will change its name to PaperNuts Limited to better represent the brand.
