Fruit Packaging Industry Witnesses Launch of Sustainable Alternatives to Replace Plastic

 

Fruit Packaging

Fruit packaging has existed in the market since ancient times. It involves packaging of fruits and other edible items like nuts, berries and vegetables. Fruits are packed in special containers in order to protect them from damage while traveling. Bags, crates, hampers, baskets, cartons, bulk bins, and palletized containers are convenient containers for handling, transporting, and marketing fresh produce. The main aim of the packaging is preserving freshness of the food items. The industry of packaging of different fruit items is huge and several packaging types have been introduced in the industry.

Fruit packaging industry is largely dependent on various factors like transportation cost, price, and quality of product. Fruit fresh-cut produce requires more transportation cost compared to other fruit items. Generally, fresh-cut produce requires more packing costs. This is due to the fact that they have a short shelf life. Fruit packing is done so as to promote healthy and safe eating and extending the shelf life of canned fruits.

Increasing demand for fruits positively impacts the fruit packaging industry. Most of the people love to eat fruits on a regular basis. People have become very aware of their diet and regularly include various fruits in their meals. Such scenario has led to tremendous growth in the demand for fruit packaging.

Packaging of fruits has been seen tremendous growth owing to the advent of new products and new marketing ideas like single-use pack, reusable pack, etc. Low cost of these products has also made them popular among the consumers. Most of the manufacturers use good quality of materials to pack the whole range of fruits and vegetables.

The fruit packaging industry is witnessing launch of sustainable alternative to replace plastic clamshells.

It is a moisture resistant, very sturdy high-graphic box created with clay coated recyclable paperboard, which reduces the use of plastic by 100 percent.

Light Linear Alpha Olefins Are Produces through Oligomerization of Ethylene and by Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

Image
  Light linear alpha olefins are commonly manufactured by two main routes: oligomerization of ethylene and by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis followed by purification. They are manufactured for a variety of reasons. One such reason is to use them as fabric and other textile applications in clothing manufacture. Various companies use ethylene trimerization process that produces only 1-hexene. In the U.S., Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, LLC, uses this process. Another commercial process, offered by a technology licensor IFP, dimerizes ethylene to high purity 1-butene. There are a wide range of applications for light linear alpha olefins . They are predominantly use in production of polyethylene, linear aldehyde, fatty acids, linear alcohols. Alpha olefins are also used in production of synthetic lubricant basestock and to make surfactants in a blend with higher linear alpha olefins. Another common use of light linear alpha olefins includes printing and apparel industries, agriculture
