Plastic-free bio packaging for (snack) vegetables and soft fruit
It would be wonderful to package those delicious soft fruits and crunchy vegetable snacks more sustainably than in current plastic containers. But how can you manage the moisture from vegetables and fruit in sustainable, plastic-free packaging? More and more packagers and retailers are switching to environmentally friendly packaging, increasing the demand for moisture-resistant sustainable paperboard.
PaperWise has therefore developed a special moisture-resistant paperboard type for packaging soft fruit and vegetable snacks: unbleached light brown PaperWise Natural Moisture Resistant paperboard, available in weights of 200, 226, 263, and 295 grams. Furthermore, this paperboard is both recyclable and compostable. After use by the consumer, PaperWise Natural paperboard can be recycled with waste paper without any issues. The advantage for supermarkets is that they do not need to unpack unsold stock, as PaperWise Natural paperboard is suitable for fermentation and certified for composting (both industrial and home composting). Away with plastic packaging! A very thin bio-plastic film—made from plants—completes the packaging based on renewable raw materials.
In the example below, we see organic blueberries from the brand Nature & More. This sustainable paperboard packaging is designed with a flat seal edge to close the packaging quickly, safely, and securely while still offering maximum visibility. Naturally, it is also possible to design the bio-paperboard packaging to close with a transparent bio-lid instead of a flat seal edge.
Packaging company Zalpak has developed the first paperboard top-seal packaging from PaperWise. This is a significant development as a patent application is pending for the top-seal packaging! The US and Canada-based company Mucci Farms won the “Best Sustainable Packaging Award” at Fresh Summit 2019 with this PaperWise top-seal packaging.
These environmentally responsible packages from PaperWise are ideally suited for packaging berries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, grapes, mushrooms, snack tomatoes, or snack cucumbers. They can be printed in excellent, razor-sharp full color. If desired, this can be done using bio-inks completely free of harmful substances.
