Cascades Launches New Range Of Fresh Packaging Solutions Kingsey Falls, Quebec, Canada based Cascades, has an- nounced the launch of its new range of Cascades Fresh packaging products for fruits and vegetables. Designed for producers, packers and retailers, Cascades Fresh packaging solutions meet the needs of this key industry while also addressing consumers’ concerns about the en- vironmental footprint of their foodstuffs. Through this new range of products, Cascades brings the circular economy to life by using different types of cardboard and recovered plastics to offer a full and multi-material range of eco-friendly, recycled and 100 percent recyclable products to reduce the environmental footprint of packaging used in the produce sector. The var- ious products include trays made from PETE, LDPETE and cardboard, baskets, carriers and corrugated cardboard boxes as well as a number of sturdy and leakproof options. These packaging solutions: • Preserve the freshness of fruits and vegetables from harvest to the table; • Facilitate transportation across the supply chain; • Provide visual appeal, capturing the attention of con- sumers; • Comply with FDA and Health Canada’s food safety re- quirements.
“Cascades has been providing eco-friendly solutions for the food industry for decades, including trays, cup car- riers, boxes and a wide range of packaging for producers, wholesalers and retailers,” said Charles Malo, President and Chief Operating Officer of Cascades Containerboard Packaging. “With the launch of Cascades Fresh, we are re- fining our service offering and reaffirming our leading po- sition in the growing packaging solutions market, all while enabling consumers to eat fresh. As enjoying food is part of our daily lives, our aim with these solutions is to make it easier to get fresh food to the table while also minimizing the impact on the environment.” AF&PA Releases May 2020 Containerboard Report The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) has re- leased its May 2020 Containerboard Monthly report.
