Beechwood forests are naturally occurring primary forests and are able to regenerate themselves, without the need for reforesting. The recycling economy plays a key role in the Packnatur® philosophy. Every product needs to be able to be returned to the natural cycle, so that resources are saved for future generations.
Packnatur® netting products are made from spun-dyed fibres. In other words, the colour pigment is injected straight into the fibre instead of using the conventional textile dying process. In comparison to traditional dying, which takes place once fibres have been spun, spun-dyed fibres need
64% LESS WATER
90% FEWER CHEMICALS
20% LESS ENERGY
62% LESS HEAT
64% LESS WASTE WATER
Cellulose fibers biodegrade within 12 weeks and are also suitable for home composting.
They are completely free from residues and petrochemicals. It goes without saying that they don’t contain any microplastics either, and if they do happen to land in the sea, they simply decompose. A solution that we – and the environment – can feel good about.
Truly versatile and can be used across various sectors of the fresh produce industry. Here are some examples of their applications:
Apples and Avocados: The netting bags for fruit and vegetables are perfect for packaging apples and avocados, providing protection and breathability to keep them fresh for longer.
Capsicum and Kiwifruit: Medium-sized netting is ideal for packaging capsicum and kiwifruit, ensuring they are well-protected and maintain their freshness.
Lemons and Limes: Our netting is excellent for packaging citrus fruits like lemons and limes, offering durability and breathability.
Mandarins: Larger netting bags are suitable for packaging bulkier produce such as mandarins preventing premature spoilage.
Potatoes: Netting bags are suitable for packaging bulkier produce such as potatoes preventing premature sprouting and spoilage.
Onions: The breathable netting is particularly beneficial for packaging onions, reducing moisture accumulation and extending shelf life.
