Founded in 2008 in Japan, Nexus Air Co. specializes in manufacturing air cushioning materials and cushion box sales. Committed to innovation and sustainability, the company introduced certified biomass LDPE and HDPE films between 2013 and 2015. With a focus on reducing environmental impact, Nexus Air integrated botanical ink into its production and, more recently, increased the biomass content of its HDPE air cushioning products, further reducing reliance on fossil-based plastics.
“By using using I'm green™ bio-based material, Nexus Air incorporates a plant-based alternative to conventional plastics into their cushioning films. Derived from sugarcane, this material helps capture CO₂ during its growth, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint at the material level.”

Recognizing the increasing demand for sustainable packaging solutions, Nexus Air has continuously advanced the development of bio-based air cushioning films, replacing traditional plastics with sustainably sourced renewable plastics. By using I’m green™ bio-based polyethylene, Nexus Air reduces the carbon footprint of its protective packaging solutions.
Nexus Air ensures that all air cushioning films comply with Japan Organic Resources Association (JORA) biomass certification standards. Nexus Air has also been recognized under the Low CO₂ Kawasaki Brand and the Kawasaki Mechanism Certification System, further strengthening its reputation as a leader in air cushioning sustainable manufacturing.
Nexus Air’s journey with I’m green™ bio-based: driving sustainability forward
By incorporating 30% of I'm green™ bio-based polyethylene into its air cushioning film, Nexus Air strengthen the sustainability of its portfolio while maintaining the high quality and performance customers expect. I’m green™ bio-based polyethylene provides a proven CO₂ reduction advantage over traditional plastics.
Through this collaboration, Nexus Air aligns with the Japanese packaging standards, offering businesses a lower environmental impact alternative without compromising protection, reliability, or efficiency. Together we are shaping a future where packaging solutions contribute to a low-carbon circular economy.
