Product developments in the field of sustainable packaging for fruit and vegetables have ensured that the share of this type of packaging has played an increasing role in Europe in the past 12 months. At Bio4Pack we see the demand for circular packaging increasing every month. An important role is played by the paddy straw trays. This packaging is made from the waste from the rice fields in Malaysia and can be disposed of with both green waste and paper waste after use. They are therefore a solution for poor farmers in Asia as a new source of income and a convenience for consumers when it comes to responsible disposal of packaging. More and more types of fruit and vegetables can be packed in the paddy straw trays, so packers can easily contribute to a circular economy.
In addition to paddy straw trays, traditional compostable fruit and vegetable packaging also continues to gain in popularity. Here too, product developments play an important role in growth. For example, it is now possible to print a compostable label that is attached to the net packaging with the necessary data of the content using a thermal printer. With this development, Bio4Pack is taking the next step in the complete integration of compostable packaging in the fruit and vegetable sector.
