New sustainable packaging project to extend guacamole's shelf life
20 May, 2021
When avocados are processed for use in food items, the amount of waste produced can account for more than 45 percent of the total weight of the avocado, acccording to a press release.
In order to make use of this waste and extend the shelf life of prepared products, AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre, is creating a label with an oxygen barrier function that prevents the oxidation of food while also incorporating antioxidants from the avocado itself to reduce the use of synthetic preservatives.
