Although plastic has long been the norm as a packaging material in the fruit and vegetable counter, we are seeing more people switching to paper packaging. In many cases, paper is an excellent alternative that protects products in a responsible way all the way to the customer's home.
Protection and care for fresh produce
Fruit and vegetables are delicate and easily damaged during transport. Paper acts as a soft protector that reduces the risk of bumps and damage – which can help the products last longer. Many fruits and vegetables “breathe” after harvest, releasing moisture and ethylene gas. Paper is air-permeable and can reduce condensation and moisture accumulation, which can otherwise cause faster rotting. In addition, paper absorbs some moisture and reduces the risk of mold, which means that the products often reach the customer in better condition.
Responsible – and easy to recycle
Paper is renewable and can be fully recycled after use. By switching from plastic to paper, companies can combine product care with responsible choices – without compromising on quality or presentation.
