When packaging extends shelf life and reduces food waste, functionality becomes sustainability!

StePacPPC is a proud member of Advanced Packaging Association (APA) and supports balanced solutions that recognize polyamide's essential role in protecting food while meeting recyclability goals. Both matter, and both are achievable together.

In the fresh produce industry, polyamide-based packaging help extends shelf life and preserve quality during transit, and reach consumers in optimal condition, preventing waste before it happens. This functional performance is an essential part of the sustainability equation.

A big thank you to International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA) for hosting yesterday's webinar on "How Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) Extends Shelf-Life of Fresh Produce."

We had the pleasure of sharing insights with attendees from across the region on the importance of good postharvest handling and the role of MAP in preserving the quality of fresh produce throughout the supply chain. We presented real-life case studies demonstrating how MAP extends the shelf life of blueberries, cherries, broccoli, and grapes—with measurable benefits in quality preservation, waste reduction, season extension, and enabling sea freight to distant markets.

The quality of the questions we received reflected a high level of interest and a deep understanding of the challenges facing Asia’s fresh produce supply chains, as well as how solutions like MAP can make a meaningful contribution.

We greatly appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the conversation on postharvest technology and look forward to continuing these discussions.

Thank you Mabel Zhuang, Ivo Tunchel, Hila Nagel and Dr. Gary Ward for yesterday's webinar!

We invite you to read the recent interview our Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Gary Ward, gave to Produce Report, where he explores breakthrough packaging strategies addressing critical challenges in blueberry logistics.

As China's blueberry industry expands both as a global producer and major consumer market, preserving berry quality during long-distance transport has become increasingly challenging. The stakes are particularly high when it comes to maintaining the delicate "bloom" - that powdery white coating that signals freshness to consumers and directly impacts market value.

In the interview, Dr. Ward addresses the unique challenges, from moisture management to bloom preservation. He explores how advanced Modified Atmosphere Packaging can help fresh blueberries reach the markets in prime condition, and preserve quality for up to 45 days.

The conversation covers the limitations of traditional packaging methods and how solutions like Xtend® and Xflow™ are designed to meet distinct market needs - from transoceanic shipments to season extension and high-efficiency automated operations.

Discover how our innovative packaging technology is shaping the future of blueberry distribution.

Thank you, to Produce Report, for featuring our approach to solving real-world challenges in fresh produce logistics.
