Sustainability Impact

Reduced Plastic Usage

Flow-Fresh® uses minimal material compared to traditional clamshell packaging, significantly reducing plastic waste. This lean approach to packaging helps decrease the environmental footprint of fresh produce packaging.

Recyclable Materials

Flow-Fresh® films and mesh are made from recyclable materials, contributing to a circular economy. This ensures that the packaging can be reused and repurposed, reducing the strain on natural resources and minimizing waste.

Lower Carbon Footprint

The efficiency of Flow-Fresh® packaging in protecting and preserving produce reduces the need for frequent transportation and storage, which in turn lowers greenhouse gas emissions associated with logistics. Additionally, lightweight flow wrap reduces fuel consumption during transportation.

Food Waste Reduction

By extending the shelf life of fresh produce, Flow-Fresh® helps reduce food waste. Less spoiled produce means fewer resources wasted in production, transportation, and disposal, leading to a more sustainable food supply chain.

Key Benefits of Flow-Fresh® Flow Wrap for Fresh Produce Packaging

Superior Fruit and Vegetable Protection

Flow-Fresh® provides a robust barrier against contaminants, physical damage, and environmental factors such as moisture and oxygen. This ensures that fruits and vegetables reach consumers in pristine condition, maintaining their natural appearance and nutritional value.

Extended Freshness

By utilising modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) techniques, Flow-Fresh® can control the internal environment, reducing the respiration rate of produce. This helps to extend shelf life significantly, reducing food waste and ensuring that consumers enjoy fresher produce for longer periods.

Versatility

Flow-Fresh® can accommodate a wide variety of fresh produce, from delicate berries to robust apples. The flexibility in packaging sizes and shapes allows for customized solutions that meet the specific needs of different fruits and vegetables.

Enhanced Presentation

With Flow-Fresh® produce can be presented in an attractive and appealing manner. Clear, high-quality film allows consumers to see the freshness of the produce, while customizable printing options enable branding and product information to be prominently displayed.
