Extending shelf life to prevent food waste
In the push for a sustainable future and circular economy, reducing both food and packaging waste is essential. Apart from helping you create effective, recycle-ready food packaging, EVAL™ EVOH can help you in two more ways:
Plastics can play an important part in the sustainable use of the world’s natural resources. Modern plastic packaging keeps food fresh for longer, protects the food during transport and helps avoid waste. Food waste impacts the environment because it squanders the resources used to produce, process, package and transport the food. Shelf life extension is one of the most effective strategies to avoid food waste. EVAL™ EVOH excels at blocking oxygen, but also maintains aroma and modified atmosphere and guards against grease and outside odours. It also prevents contamination from, for example, MOSH/MOAH mineral oils. Your perfect companion to keep your food fresh and prevent food waste. Plus, the right packaging allows for more efficient use of food, better distribution, and less waste , both at retail and consumer levels. The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) estimates that 1/3 of all food production is lost due to loss or spoilage*. Using functional packaging in the correct portion size is a great way to reduce waste and save resources.
