KYIV, May 6 – Nova Poshta is gradually shifting its departments to work with recycled paper instead of foam plastic to fill the voids in the package.

According to the company, this will lead to the fact that parcels will be packaged and shipped about 12% faster, while paper saves the contents of the parcel from damage better than foam.

"We've analyzed the world's best practices and selected paper produced in Ukraine. This is a cheap, reliable, easy to clean and dispose alternative to usual fillers. Like other packaging materials used by Nova Poshta, paper will be recycled," Nova Poshta Director Oleksandr Bulba said.
