Ultra-high barrier package delivers ultra fresh Italian
Plantic Technologies, Three Bridges brand combine renewably sourced packaging with 100% natural inspired pasta
Improving the environment while increasing food freshness are dual benefits from the new packaging for Valley Fine Foods of Benicia, CA. Plantic Technologies Ltd (plantic.com.au), an international supplier of performance biopolymers, announces that its ultra-high gas barrier, renewably sourced Plantic eco Plastic™ roll stock is being used by Valley Fine to package its Three Bridges line of 100 percent natural chef crafted pasta products. This premium offering includes both organic and gluten free products.
Plantic eco Plastic™ roll stock is made predominately from proprietary starch technology which constitutes about 80 percent of the total package structure and uses up to 40 percent less energy to produce than conventional ethylene-based polymers. The extremely low oxygen transmission rate of eco Plastic™ material can extend the shelf life of fresh foods by 15 percent to 40 percent, depending on the application.
