SOLIDUS SOLUTIONS (SOLIDUS), a leading paper-based packaging provider, will attend the annual Seafood Expo exhibition in Barcelona between 25th – 27th April. The exhibition brings together buyers and suppliers from around the world to present the latest innovations and discuss pressing challenges presented to the seafood industry.
SOLIDUS will be showcasing its range of transport packaging solutions, including environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives to the usual polystyrene and plastic boxes used to pack fresh fish or other fish types. Taking up to seven times less space than polystyrene boxes, minimising shipping costs, optimising palletisation, and reducing storage space, Solidus’ solid board is the ideal and sustainable material to package round fish, salmon, and fresh fish. For fresh fish, the company provides a specific type of box including holes with a food safe PE coating making sure the box is water repellent and the fish stays fresh during transport and storage.
SOLIDUS will also be showcasing its range of retail-ready packaging solutions, FUTURLINE®, including paper-based modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) trays which matches the shelf life of its plastic counterparts; and skin packaging which offers a cost-effective solution that meets consumer demand for ready-to-eat products; the range features deep vacuum technology which supports the shelf life of produce and decreases the need for protective packaging fillers. Both the skin packaging and MAP solutions within the FUTURLINE® range use at least 80% less plastic[1] which is easily separated so that their paper-based materials can be fully recycled after use. The trays have been developed to run on existing packaging machines with minimal adjustments, facilitating the transition from plastic to paper-based packaging as well as removing costs for new machinery.
At the tradeshow, customers can also learn more about SOLIDUS’s circular strategy which transforms recycled paper-based products into packaging and other solid board applications such as point-of-sale displays, sustainable transportation pallets and partitions. SOLIDUS experts will be available to discuss how packaging innovations can help your business become more sustainable as well as set new industry standards that will help your company grow faster.
The solid board packaging solutions will be on display on Stand 3EE801 in Barcelona, with a team of SOLIDUS experts on hand. To find out more, visit: https://solidus-solutions.com.
