Protecting Natural Products with A Circular-By-Nature Eco Paper Fruit Tray

 

Fruits, especially the softer kinds, are vulnerable in transportation, hence, fruit packaging plays an important role in this product’s quality. However, PVC trays and bubble wrap are single-used plastics which are hard treated after disposal. For this reason, Eco Paper Fruit Tray offered by Botta Packaging is a perfect sustainable replacement for fruit packaging.

Quality of Eco Paper Fruit Tray

Eco Paper Fruit Tray is made from molded paper pulp. The difference between standard paper trays and molded pulp tray is the sturdiness and rigidity. Wet paper pulp is pressed and heated to be strengthened as much as PVC trays. This technology helps Eco Paper Fruit Tray be durable and solid as its plastic alternative.

Eco Paper Fruit Tray is both mushy and strong to bolster and protect fruits. Unlike plastics, paper pulp can absorb the water vapor and reduce the moisture, keeping the fruits well-preserved, reducing the food waste and financial loss for farmers and vendors.

Sustainability of Eco Paper Fruit Tray

As most of our eco-products, Eco Paper Fruit Tray is also a paper-based packaging solution, which is Circular by Nature. The molded pulp making up of this tray is from recycled paper or even left-over paper from paper factories, optimizing the resources to avoid any possible waste.

The molded pulp can be recycled as other paper products or seft-biodegrated in nature or composted into fertilizer with other bio-garbage. Hence, it solves the problem of waste treatment after disposal, unlike PVC trays which are single-use plastics.

The well-built structure and design allow Eco Paper Fruit Tray to stack into each other, easier handling and saving costs for warehousing and delivering, reducing the emission by reducing vehicles or transportation trips required.

 

According to research by Pro-Carton, 75% of consumers from across Europe say the environmental impact of a product’s packaging affects their purchasing decision. Natural products like fruits and vegetables should go with an equivalent sustainable packaging like Eco Paper Fruit Tray. This will allow for the brand’s environmental message to linger on the customer’s mind.

THREE PIVOTAL FACTS TAKEN FROM THE NEW BOTTA PACKAGINGS’ MARKET REPORT: “THE PACKAGING IMPACT: EMPTY SPACE, SUSTAINABILITY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION”

The 17 – page market report by Botta Packaging, published this November, has given us valuable information on the issue of Empty Space and its impact on firms and environment, as well as the consumer’s opinion about enterprises’ responsibility in this matter. Today, we will list out the 3 important facts from this report as follows.

Fact #1: Packaging plays a crucial role in Empty Space optimization

Indeed, the report pointed out that “packaging design impacts how a company can use available space and equipment. Package shape, strength, and materials impact the ability to use the full cubic capacity”. As a result, well-designed packaging can minimize the wasted space in cargo cabin on airplanes or vessels. Inadequate packaging can be cumbersome and costly for firms to handle. Also, according to the report, the dominant concern in good’s package design is the balance between ease of handling and cost related to materials and transportation.

Fact #2: Reducing Empty Space can bring back customer’s satisfaction, especially in

Ecommerce

The report showed that time is not the only vital competency in E-commerce. Around 66% of consumers are willing to receive packages a few days later so that sellers can reduce the transportation times and reduce environmental impact. Consumers are also fully aware about the impact of packaging waste. The report gave an empirical evidence of Amazon. “Amazon’s success and further requirements are to fulfill customer expectations without using unnecessary space, overprotecting, or generating excess waste.

Fact #3: Regulations on packaging also aim for minimizing Empty Space

Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Balanced Scorecard are common tools used to evaluate the environmental impact produced by existing packaging systems. Criteria includes the packaging design which reduces the wrapping layers and package size. Botta Packaging’s report also highlighted the different national laws on this matter. Design requirements to control empty space ratios are implemented in various governments. From the report: “in South Korea, the allowed empty space is 10-35%, Japan allows up to 40% free space for cosmetics products while in Australia, it is 25-40%. Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece, Slovakia, Spain require producers to submit a detailed packaging reduction plan”.

Above are 3 important facts we could see from Botta Packaging’s market research on the Empty Space issue. The team has done a great job to give the reader an all-round information about the economic and environmental impact of wasted space, the customer’s insight on sustainability of packaging and successful Case Studies of Empty Space management.

BOTTA PACKAGING TACKLED THE ISSUE OF EMPTY SPACE IN LOGISTICS WITH A NEW MARKET RESEARCH

Empty Space is a consistent puzzle in the logistic field. Botta Packaging has just released a new market research about the impacts of the Empty Space problem on the sustainability in packaging and transportation, namely “The Packaging Impact: Empty Space, Sustainability and Customer Satisfaction”. The report has drawn the attention in the industry as it focuses on the million-dollar question of logistic optimization.  

With the well selected empirical or theoretical data and case studies, Botta Packaging’s market report emphasized the importance of an efficient packaging design in reducing the space waste, transportation trips or the number of vehicles resulting in logistics cost saving and decreasing the consequences to the environment. According to the paper, “packaging design would decide how a company can use available space and equipment; while packages’ shape, strength, and materials impact the ability to use the full cubic capacity”.

The second part of the report is, in fact, very useful for logistics managers and researchers since it gives them an insight of current regulations related to packaging and space optimization. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Balanced Scorecard are common tools used to evaluate the environmental impact produced by existing packaging systems. Then, the paper presented the implementation cases of enterprises who successfully minimized empty spaces by managing their supply chain system or innovating their products and packaging methods. 

Despite the fact that Empty Space is not a new problem, the solutions for them are still being figured out and renovated by enterprises day by day. Any firms or manufacturing industries who could solve the issue of Empty Space through wise packaging solutions will gain the significant cost savings as well as positive impacts on the environment. For this reason, Botta Packaging’s research on Empty Space is a paper worth reading. The report is available for interested audience on Botta Packaging’s website: https://www.botta.it/en/empty-space/
