Our company is featured in the FreshPlaza magazine which covers news on fruits and vegetables at both the national and international levels.
In their article from Friday, November 29, 2024, the author Marine Inghirami-Benaroch discusses the advantages of molded cellulose for fruits and vegetables, as well as the uncertainty in the sector following the recent repeal of the AGEC law decree.
What is cellulose and what are its advantages ?
Cellulose is a naturally occurring resource found in all plants on Earth. It makes up between 35% and 50% of the fiber in each plant, making it an almost infinite and renewable resource, as well as a good alternative to plastic, cardboard, and wood.
Moreover, this material allows the production of packaging recyclable through the paper/cardboard stream and compostable compostable at home.
Cellulose offers good résistance resistance to moisture and allows for consistent packaging rates because our product adapts to your production lines according to your needs and technical requirements.
What has changed after the repeal of the AGEC law decree on fruits and vegetables ?
After this repeal, some cooperatives are considering returning to plastic packaging. However, it is important to keep in mind that the final decision-maker is the retail sector. If retailers decide to stick with eco-friendly packaging, cooperatives will have to comply.
And tomorrow ?
Our company aims to enter new business sectors by February 2025, such as cosmetics, horticulture, and luxury. In addition, with our geographical location (Wattrelos, Hauts-de-France), we are looking to expand into the Benelux, Germany, and the UK, where customers are already moving away from plastic for their packaging.
