US-based Graphic Packaging has developed ProducePack Punnet, an innovative cardboard alternative to plastic packaging for fresh fruits and vegetables, according to a corporate press office.
The new product, available in all standard tray sizes, is fully recyclable and reduces the amount of plastic by up to 100% depending on the application. ProducePack Punnet can be sealed from above at speeds equivalent to traditional plastic trays. The green solution works with conventional equipment, which means that fruit and vegetable producers who decide to switch to carton packaging do not need to invest heavily in modernizing their facilities.
