Insulation Packaging for Thermal Insulation and/or Shock Absorption Made from Straw and/or Hay

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing an insulating packaging for thermal insulation and/or shock absorption, and a packaging of this type. According to the invention, straw or hay or a mixture of the two is plasticized; the plasticized straw and/or hay is subjected to moulding; while maintaining the moulding, the plasticization is reversed and the straw and/or hay is hardened without material bonding between the individual stalks of straw and/or hay; and the straw and/or hay is provided with a coating on all sides. By this means, an insulating packaging is created consisting of one or more insulating cores (1) made of pressed straw and/or hay and at least one coating (2), wherein the insulating core (1) is designed to be dimensionally stable and providing the shape without bonded connection between the individual stalks of hay and/or straw, and the insulating core (1) is completely surrounded by a coating (2) which is only connected by interlocking without additional connecting elements with the insulating core (1).
