Fresh Produce Packaging

Fresh Produce Packaging: Sustainable Solutions from the Farm to the Customer

The packaging of fresh produce plays a crucial role in ensuring it reaches customers in optimal condition for consumption. Traditionally, plastic has been the go-to material, but recent advancements in corrugated cardboard have revolutionised the industry. This shift not only enhances freshness and quality but also aligns with eco-friendly practices, meeting the growing demand among businesses, governments, and customers alike for sustainable packaging solutions that are readily recyclable.
