pulp bowl suit for berries
Release time:2020-03-10
The search for sustainable packaging alternatives for the German market
will not go away. Some major supermarket chains have already changed
their programmes several times to find the ideal balance between
protection and improved environmental performance.
The sensitive
soft fruit in particular is probably causing headaches for some of them.
Serwo Packaging has been present on the market for some time with
various paper packaging, especially in the area of berry skins. “We have
now been working for a year on our latest solution. It wasn’t easy to
find the right material, but now we are finally ready to present the
product”, says Thomas Däbel, branch manager of Serwo Packaging.
“Our
new wood pulp bowl is made of a unique combination of materials and is
machine run and sealable. We have adapted the bowl to the typical tools
used in this industry. This gives us all the advantages and processing
speed of a PET tray with the breathability and microclimate of the wood
pulp,” says Däbel. Cooled storage is of course possible and does not
affect the sealing in any way.
This means that the packaging can
meet three decisive requirements of consumers and the trade: It is
closed-off packaging with a visible product, that significantly reduces
the need for plastic. “In addition, the tray is not only sealable but
also suitable for applying a lid, which makes it suitable for smaller
producers or packers as no expensive sealing machines are required.”
