Innovation & Bespoke
As the requirements of the Fresh Produce industry change, the products Produce Packaging offers its customers reflects this.

Produce Packaging is delighted to announce that it will
be the exclusive distributor of Earthcycle packaging from Canadian
manufacturer CKF Inc. in England, Scotland and Wales.
CKF's thermoformed moulded pulp line Earthcycle is
certified home compostable, widely recyclable in the UK waste
paper stream and is plastic free. According to the company it has
been proven in trials that the Earthcycle punnets match automation
speeds of plastic punnets for de-nesting and offers a consistent
and strong bond in top - sealing systems.
In shelf and transit trials, the firm claimed, it has
been shown that packaged in Earthcycle, produce stays fresher for
longer- 20 per cent longer than when packed in
plastic.
Made from a blend of virgin and post- industrial
recycled wood pulp, Earthcycle is made with either FSC-controlled
or FSC- certified wood sourced from "low risk" areas of Canada and
the US. Transit time to Produce Packaging's Lincolnshire and Kent
warehouses from the CKF plant is only 12 days.
"What initially attracted us to Produce Packaging were
referrals from fresh produce packers and growers when we asked for
details of the best packaging specialists in the UK," said Brad
Dennis, vice president of sales and marketing for CKF. "We then
quickly realised that Produce Packaging is a quality organisation
with a wide distribution network and deep connections to the grower
and retailer communities."
Mark Tierney, managing director of Produce Packaging,
added: "Produce Packaging is thrilled to be working with CKF and
more specifically the Earthcycle range of packaging. We see where
the trend for reducing plastic in the packaging industry is going,
and it is important for our company to be on the forefront of
bringing innovation to our clients.
"We believe that the Earthcycle line is superior in its
design, finish and quality and so offers our clients the ability to
easily incorporate the packaging into existing automatic
de-nesting, top seal and other packaging format
lines."
