BIOGROS, a supplier of organic products, and Cactus, a major player in mass retailing in Luxembourg, have developed new environmentally friendly packaging for a wide range of organic fruits and vegetables, using 100% FSC paper and no mineral oil.
Packaging plays an important role in the preservation of fresh produce, makes it possible to indicate their origin and serves as protection during transport. The desire to use sustainable materials, respectful of nature, seems all the more obvious when it comes to packaging products from organic farming. This is the challenge facing BIOGROS and Cactus: united for more than 25 years by the conviction that we must preserve our lands and promote sustainable agriculture, the two partners considered that we must bring the concern for the natural and sustainable beyond the fields and propose to the customers of ecological packaging for BIOG fruits and vegetables in order to gradually put an end to the plastic in the departments dedicated to organic foods.
While biodegradable plastic is still used for packaging organic fruit and vegetables to avoid confusing them in supermarkets with conventional products, the new BIOGROS packaging is made of 100% FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified paperboard, ensuring responsible management of forests, and have a label without mineral oil. All products in the BIOGROS range that allow it, due to their shape and size, will be progressively packaged with durable and 100% recyclable materials.
As a result, Cactus and BIOGROS are able to offer customers environmentally-friendly products, from seed to packaging.
