Shelf life extension for produce exports

An exporter of pomegranates that is based in Mumbai, India, is getting improved shelf life since it began using a novel flexible film designed to allow produce to respire at an optimal rate.

 

Supplied by Uflex (www.uflexltd.com), the Flexfresh bag material is described as a “hybrid polymer” that is also compostable. “The formulation of Flexfresh is a hybrid composition and this ensures that despite being from a petroleum source, the material is fully biodegraded in about 180 days in an industrial compost,” says Uflex. “We have received third-party certification for the biodegradation and both the liner and the soil have been tested as per DIN EN 13432(2000-12)."
