KINGSEY
FALLS, QC, Jan. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Cascades is
pleased to announce the launch of new produce basket designs for
the produce sector. Made from up to 100% recycled fibres, these new
produce baskets with flaps offer produce growers a sustainable
alternative to replace more hard-to-recycle packaging.
Designed according to recognized eco-design principles,
these products are in keeping with a circular economy
approach. By using recycled and recyclable corrugated
cardboard in its design, Cascades is supporting its customers by
reducing their environmental impact while meeting consumer demand
for increasingly environmentally friendly packaging.
Innovative packaging design prevents consumers from handling
products and helps keep fruits and vegetables intact throughout the
logistic chain. They include a closure system that prevents
products from falling, without compromising visibility inside the
packaging.
"These new corrugated basket formats for fresh fruit and
vegetables enhance our innovative product offering for the produce
sector, while allowing us to continue to meet the highest standards
of environmental responsibility," said Charles Malo, President and Chief Operating
Officer, Cascades Containerboard Packaging
Available in two different models and four different sizes, from
the new ½ dry quart snack size to the 1 L size, these baskets can
be used to market a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, from
berries to tomatoes and tree grown fruit. The basket's multiple
customization options offer a competitive advantage and will make
produce brands stand out on the shelf with high-quality
flexographic, lithographic and digital printing options.
