The LeafBed developed by NOCC for LEAF Supply is a cardboard bedding solution for emergency situations. “Lab tests have proven the ability of each module to resist loads of up to 300 kgs in environments with 75% humidity levels and 30°C temperatures. The double-layered corrugate cardboard is the industry’s standard and can be found all over the world.” Amazing.
