Advantages of the EVOH Barrier in Sugarcane Trays

The EVOH barrier in sugarcane trays enhances product freshness, extends shelf life, and provides an eco-friendly packaging solution for customers.

The benefits of using sugarcane trays with an EVOH barrier are numerous for customers:

Enhanced Preservation

The EVOH barrier effectively blocks oxygen transmission, preserving the freshness and quality of food and extending its shelf life.

Improved Safety

The barrier provides protection against external contaminants, ensuring that food remains safe and hygienic.

Environmental Sustainability

Combining the eco-friendly properties of sugarcane with the effective barrier properties of EVOH, these trays reduce the environmental impact compared to traditional packaging materials.

Versatility

EVOH sugarcane trays are suitable for a wide range of packaging applications, catering to various food types and customer needs.

Enhanced Brand Image

Using sustainable and high-quality packaging materials demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, appealing to environmentally-conscious consumers and enhancing brand reputation.

Higher Biodegradability and Compostability

Compared to plastic trays, sugarcane trays with an EVOH barrier are significantly more biodegradable and compostable.

Another advantage of biodegradable packaging is its potential to minimise carbon footprint

  • Biodegradability: Sugarcane trays naturally break down over time into simpler organic materials.
  • Compostability: These trays can be composted under the right conditions, adding valuable nutrients back into the soil without leaving harmful residues.

Traditional plastic trays, on the other hand, are often non-biodegradable and do not compost readily, leading to long-term environmental pollution and waste management issues. Although the exact percentage improvement in biodegradability and compostability can vary based on the tray’s composition and environmental conditions, sugarcane trays generally represent a more sustainable choice due to their renewable source and environmentally friendly end-of-life options.

“In the realm of packaging, embracing green practices is not just a commitment to the environment; it’s an investment in a sustainable future, where innovation meets responsibility, and businesses thrive by aligning with the values of conscious consumers.”

While initially, the production costs of biodegradable materials may be higher

Moreover, biodegradable packaging offers versatility and functionality comparable to traditional materials. Advances in technology have led to the development of biopolymers derived from renewable sources such as plants, algae, and even waste products like cornstarch and sugarcane. These materials can be molded into various shapes and sizes, providing packaging solutions tailored to the specific needs of different industries. From food packaging to cosmetics and electronics, biodegradable alternatives offer a sustainable option without compromising on quality or performance.
Another advantage of biodegradable packaging is its potential to minimise carbon footprint. The production of traditional plastics relies heavily on fossil fuels and generates substantial greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, biodegradable materials have a lower carbon footprint since they are derived from renewable sources and require less energy-intensive processes. By embracing biodegradable packaging, companies can reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to mitigating climate change.
