Avocado Packaging

Advanced Modified Atmosphere/Modified Humidity Packaging Solutions for Shelf-Life Extension

Avocados have become a symbol of a healthy lifestyle. The increasing focus on consuming healthy super-foods is driving market growth. One of the biggest challenges facing retailers and consumers alike is over ripening of avocadoes, which increases waste. For the consumer this may occur when several avocadoes are purchased together, and they all tend to ripen at once leading to a lot of ripe fruit with a narrow window for consumption.

Our modified atmosphere packaging solutions are scientifically engineered to preserve freshness, maintain appearance, and extend shelf life throughout storage and shipment with proven, consistent results.

Innovative Avocado Packaging, Better Results

Our advanced packaging technology combines modified atmosphere and humidity control, effectively slowing down the respiration rate, inhibiting the production and action of ethylene, and suppressing microbial decay. Additionally, we offer unique film structures with variable water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) that deliver condensation control for better product visibility and mitigation of microbial decay.

Ripen in the bag

Xgo™ retail packaging solutions enable packing at source, shipment and ripening in the same sealed packaging. The packaging slows down the ripening process, maintaining fruit riper for longer, reducing waste in the supply chain and providing the consumer with a broader window for consumption. The use of high-water vapor transmission rate films is key and helps to remove excess moisture from the headspace, reducing the risk of microbial decay. The packaging also ensures uniform ripening of all of the fruits in the package.

Sustainability You Can Count On

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. Our avocado packaging is designed to lower plastic consumption, reduce post-harvest waste, support a shift from air to sea freight, and decrease overall carbon output. We’re also certified by Redcert to incorporate BASF Ultramid® Ccycled®, a chemically recycled polyamide at 30% or more into its polyamide-based films. In many applications, the carbon savings enabled by our packaging exceed the emissions created during its production and use. Explore our sustainability initiatives here.
