Fruit packaging is a crucial factor for maintaining freshness, quality, and appeal.
Good packaging not only protects the product during transport and storage, it also plays a vital role in reducing waste and environmental impact.
In this regard, at Ecoocel we offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging.
Consequences of inadequate packaging
Failing to package fruit properly can have several negative consequences.
Physical damage during transport can cause bruising and cuts, which not only affect appearance but also accelerate decomposition.
In addition, the lack of protection against moisture and contamination can shorten shelf life, increasing food waste.
Using unsuitable packaging can also harm the environment—especially when non-recyclable materials like expanded polystyrene (EPS) are used, which can take hundreds of years to degrade.
Ecoocel: the sustainable alternative
Ecoocel trays, made from cellulose of renewable origin, offer a sustainable and efficient solution for fruit packaging.
These trays are 100% compostable and recyclable, contributing significantly to the reduction of waste and carbon emissions.
Unlike EPS containers, Ecoocel trays are designed to withstand moisture and overwrap film without deterioration, ensuring optimal protection for fruit.
Advantages of Ecoocel trays over conventional packaging
Ecoocel not only mirrors EPS tray formats in all sizes—making the transition to sustainable materials easier—but also provides superior features.
