Coopbox NaturalBox PLA Fresh Food Packaging

Italian fresh food packaging company Coopbox has carved a niche with its NaturalBox line of Ingeo PLA tray packaging.  Designed for fresh meats and vegetables the packaging is being used for a number of applications in Europe.

Packaging World reported Coopbox's NaturalBox packaging has been available since 2005 and is currently used for fresh meat and fish packaging throughout Europe.

The PLA tray can be wrapped with a stretch film or a PLA-based film for a 100% biodegradable packaging solution.

“When the tray is used with PLA,” Coopbox's Cesare Vannini told Packaging World, “it is possible to obtain a 100-percent biodegradable solution. The system is suitable for protective atmosphere packaging of fresh foods with a shelf life of up to 15 days.”

NaturalBox trays with PLA lidstock are currently being used for several European fresh-food applications, including organic chicken (pictured) from Bodin, the largest poultry supplier in Europe; easy-peel, jumbo, ready-to-eat prawns from U.K. seafood company Dawnfresh Seafoods; and processed meat from Fresh Concept in Belgium.
