A Focus on Films and Sustainability

Produce packaging films are one of the key components to protecting your fresh produce on its way to market. In today’s market, it is estimated that between 25-50% of all fresh food is lost before it makes it to market. Produce packaging and films work to reduce food loss by increasing protection and extending product shelf life.
