Sustainable Development Packaging from Woamy should be on your list of trending packaging design materials for 2025.In this episode of Packaging Unboxd, host Evelio Mattos dives into the deceptively simple yet groundbreaking world of sustainable foams with the founders of Woamy. This isn’t your typical “green” material. Woamy has developed a foam that mimics the directional strength of wood, is crafted entirely from FSC-certified cellulose, and is held together with water. No glues. No plastic. Just air and pulp.We unpack how layering this material changes everything from load-bearing strength to flexibility, making it a top contender for replacing EPS, EVA, and other foams. And yes, it’s technically edible (don’t worry, Evelio didn’t eat it on air). The Woamy team shares how they’ve already started replacing protective packaging in luxury products and where they see the most impact for brands that actually care about circular design.3 Things You’ll Learn:1. Why directional strength matters in foam packaging—and how it mimics wood.2. How Woamy achieves high performance with zero plastic and 90% air.3. What to consider when switching from EPS or EVA to recyclable cellulose foam.Mentions & Links:Woamy – https://woamy.com/FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) – https://fsc.org/IDP Direct – https://idpdirect.com/LinkedIn (Evelio Mattos) –   / eveliomattos
