Freshness Plus IBC liners reduce mold growth under the filling gland and can increase the shelf life of avocado pulp by up to 50%, according to the company. The oxygen scavenging technology is incorporated into 300 gallon tote and 55 gallon drum liners to actively protect against negative oxidation, allowing products to stay fresher for longer periods of time.

Cryovac Freshness Plus active packaging provides processors with a solution that not only scavenges oxygen and protects products longer but also allows for minimal processing and products with cleaner labels. Unlike traditional metalized polyester film used for oxygen-sensitive products, Freshness Plus film is not susceptible to flex cracking and can go into the recycling stream. The new oxygen scavenging tote and barrel liners are part of the Cryovac® Freshness Plus®line of active packaging mater

According to a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the carton format had the lowest environmental footprint of all the options, which compared PCR, molded fiber, glass, aluminum, and paper cartons. Using cartons to refill more durable rPET bottles makes the whole system bathroom- and shower-worthy, since the cartons themselves deteriorate in wet environments.

Paperboard cartons get high LCA marks, but break down when wet. Meanwhile, 100% rPET bottles are circular, work great in the shower, and if they're refilled, are not single-use. Dr. Bronner’s refillable carton leverages both formats' strengths.
