Parkside Develops Compostable Packaging Solution for New Forest Fruit Company
Parkside and the New Forest Fruit Company have developed a home compostable flexible packaging solution for its new range of ‘plant to packet’ sustainable dried strawberries.
The packs are made with Parkside’s patented triplex Park2Nature™ material, which is TÜV certified as home compostable within 26 weeks in normal composting conditions and 12 weeks in an industrial composting facility. The products are referred to as ‘plant to packet’ as they are grown, processed, and packed entirely on the New Forest Fruit Company’s farm in New Forest, Hampshire, UK, ensuring the carbon footprint of each product is kept to an absolute minimum.
