Reduced Plastic Produce Trays
ProducePack Punnet Trays are a Paperboard Alternative to Plastic
Laura McQuarrie — April 23, 2021ProducePack Punnet trays for fresh fruit and vegetables help to replace plastic produce trays with a paperboard alternative. The innovative packaging solution is fully recyclable and it has the potential to replace plastic entirely. Elodie Bugnicourt, sustainability manager at Graphic Packaging International, says: "ProducePack Punnet delivers a 90% reduction in plastic when compared to polypropylene or polyester trays, and a 100% reduction if a barrier coating is not necessary for the application."
The eco-friendly produce packaging trays help to address the need for increased food safety and hygiene, as well as sustainability, which is a priority for consumers. The packaging trays have the potential to be used for everything from tomatoes to berries, and they can be graphically printed to reduce the need for additional labels.
