Sustainable packaging for avocados introduced

by

Unifying forces at the start of 2022 in order to build an avocado-based solution that is robust, Oppy, Avoworks, and Eco Farms now announce the introduction of their compostable avocado packs.

This product is a green alternative. In contrast to other options for composting that are only efficiently broken down in industrial plants that demand intense power processes, this package can be used for composting backyards. The netting as well as the label are created from beechwood cellulose that is able to decompose within as short as 12 months.



The netting as well as the label are constructed using cellulose from beechwood which decomposes within 12 weeks.

“This pack will change the game forever. It’s a straightforward solution that ticks all the box,” said Avoworks president Pedro Somarriba. “Our future is dependent on developments such as this due to a variety of factors: environmental impacts, conservation of resources recycling as well as wildlife protection. In addition, consumers have been pushing for changes and are now partnering with businesses that provide the most environmentally-friendly packaging or an approach to implement one.”

It was founded just two years two years ago, Somarriba credits the fluidity of its relationship together with Oppy along with Eco Farms as one with an enthralling chemistry. They share the same goals and a similar development plan.

“We’ve developed solid synergies and vertical integration between our two companies which has resulted in a more steady and stable supply chain as well as an even stronger base of growers that we’ve never had before,” said Rodrigo Lopez Director of Oppy’s fruit and avocados. “Avoworks is also bringing in cutting-edge manufacturing facilities that feature high-tech equipment that are unlike anything else I’ve ever witnessed in my career. We are focused on delivering consistent and top-quality items all year round for our clients while keeping sustainability and innovation in the forefront.”

Alongside the 100 % compostable home pack and the 100 percent compostable home pack, the group has also introduced two additional products of value that include frozen avocado blend as well as halves. The mix is made that is made with lime and sea salt as well as hand-scooped avocado pieces which have had the pit and skin taken out. The products offer customers an exceptional avocado experience using premium avocados which meet diverse culinary requirements and is ideally positioned to serve consumers in the food industry.

The latest offerings will be made available on the market before the time the end of this year. Oppy, Avoworks and Eco Farms are looking to expand their relationship to meet the needs of customers all over North America.
