Sustainability has been present in the production factors of fruits and vegetables for years, which has become a strong and extensive development of the biological and ecological market for fruits and vegetables. Therefore, and once this trend is generalized, it is normal that these pressures are transferred to the most relevant impacts of the industry, the packaging that is used. The trend in the packaging market is promoting a replacement of plastic with cardboard, Alicia said.

In addition, they have incorporated into their range compact and corrugated cardboard baskets for fruits and vegetables, with this, producers are able to give greater protection and a more premium image to their product on the sales shelf.
