The fresh food market has been developing rapidly under the impact of the pandemic, and fresh food in particular has seen unprecedented growth opportunities in E-commerce. At the same time, there are concerns about the safety and hygiene of fresh food. Consumers are more concerned about virus “attacks” during the picking and delivery process than the safety of the food at source.

In this case, pre-packaged vegetables are gaining popularity among consumers. Pre-packed vegetables can better prevent the product from becoming a source of infection, while eliminating the need to queue for weighing, satisfying the requirement of “select and go” by consumers. In addition, it helps to avoid crowding and helps to prevent and control epidemics.

Fresh food has demanding requirements in terms of insulation and freshness, which in part results in a huge waste of packaging. When more and more people buy fresh food, excessive packaging is inevitable. Ordinary plastic products are difficult to degrade, so it is particularly urgent to solve the contradiction between packaging needs and environmental protection. Packaging that is recyclable, light weight and biodegradable is the mainstream solution at present. Specifically, in the field of fresh food packaging, biodegradable and harmless is an ideal solution.

Xiamen Changsu has successfully mastered the mass production technology of new biodegradable BOPLA film, which not only has the advantages of biodegradation, but also overcomes the disadvantages of poor mechanical properties of ordinary blow molded biodegradable films and has excellent optical and printing properties. Compared with ordinary plastic films, the new biodegradable BOPLA film has good moisture transmission rate, which is a unique advantage for maintaining the freshness of fruits and vegetables. At the same time, the carbon footprint of the new biodegradable BOPLA film is significantly lower than that of ordinary plastic films. That shows this biodegradable BOPLA film is an ideal material for upgrading fresh food packaging because it provides a good consumer experience and also satisfies the requirement of environment protection.
