At fish markets and fishmongers, a lot of material is wasted and, above all, very often unsustainable and polluting material is used. Just think of the boxes that are used for fresh fish: they are made of materials that cannot be recycled and are often very polluting.
In recent years, however, we have seen the introduction of good circular economy practices in which paper and cardboard packaging, which is renewable and recyclable, becomes the alternative to the traditional materials used in this sector. Even companies in the fish industry are prioritizing sustainability to meet the demands of legislators and consumers. Increasingly discerning consumers are demanding more sustainable solutions with recyclable and renewable packaging.
EcoFishBox is
packaging for the transport of fresh and processed fish made of renewable
fiber, an environmentally friendly alternative for the fish industry, where EPS
(polystyrene) packaging is widely used.
Ice-packed fresh
fish requires water resistance, and the structure of EcoFishBox is based on
laminating the carton with a thin PET film that makes the pack watertight.
This box is delivered as a flat sheet of corrugated cardboard. The EcoFishBox takes up seven times less storage space than a traditional polystyrene box. The box can be formed by hand or by machine and can be customized by printing.
EcoFishBox is therefore a complete solution for fish packaging throughout the supply chain, including custom branded boxes and lids, automation, and ice packaging solutions. EcoFishBox helps to use fewer fossil resources and requires much less space in storage and transport, resulting in a reduced climate impact.
Thanks to
EcoFishBox, the fish industry has a more sustainable supply chain by replacing
fossil-based packaging with more sustainable solutions made of mainly renewable
materials.
EcoFishBox is an example of how the industry is developing by increasingly looking for renewable and recyclable solutions that have less impact on the environment.
