Hello everyone --
In a move many years ago, our museum made extensive use of packing
"peanuts" for light objects such as baskets. Based on fumes in the room
where packing materials were temporarily stored, it was apparent that
they were not chemically inert. We are currently gearing up for another
move and wondering if there are acceptable varieties. If so,
information on suppliers would be much appreciated. Our plan is to bag
each item before it is placed in the peanuts and then in boxes, so they
won't be in physical contact, but this will likely not isolate them from
potential off-gassing.
Many thanks as always for your collective wise counsel!
Sincerely,
Pam
