The solution is combining a 100% biodegradable support, made of corrugated cardboard or paper, with a lid made out of R-PET, a plastic that has already been recycled and can be recycled again. The support is created by Strong Pack, SP Soluciones Agricolas cardboard and paper packaging division, while the R-PET lid is manufactured by Indesla.
"This collaboration will allow us to create sustainable packaging that will help reduce the time wasted handling it, which can be sold at competitive prices," stated Pecero. Thus, the company is able to solve what berry producers consider are the two main drawbacks that sustainable packaging in the market has to date.
In the 2020/2021 campaign, SP Soluciones AgrÃcolas and Indesla will offer five different packagings, with capacities that range from 125 grams to 1 kilo, to package blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, stone fruits, tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes.
