Corrugated packaging and other paper-based packaging plays a pivotal role when it comes to protective packaging solutions for the food industry. According to the Confederation of Paper Industries (CPI), corrugated packaging provides a great deal of sustainability by reducing food waste. Paper packaging ensures that less food is damaged in transit and helps keep products fresher for longer. It also used far less energy in the supply chain.
Due to its naturally cushioning qualities, many suppliers use corrugated packaging to protect its produce. Cardboard can also be treated with an ethylene-absorbing agent to slow down fruit and vegetable ripening to help them stay fresher.
Further benefits include its eco-friendliness (over 80% of corrugated packaging is recycled) and ability to be customized for easy shipping, identification, and displays.
