Cascades is proud to announce the launch of a new closed basket made of recycled and recyclable corrugated cardboard for the produce sector.

Cascades launches new eco-friendly packaging for fresh fruits and vegetables

An alternative to food packaging that is difficult to recycle, this new product is the latest addition to Cascades’ line of eco-friendly packaging.

Designed using recognized eco-design principles, this product is in keeping with a circular economy approach.

By using recycled corrugated cardboard in its design, Cascades is supporting its customer’s efforts to reduce their environmental impact while meeting consumer demand for increasingly eco–friendly packaging.

The result of the expertise and work of a multidisciplinary team, the innovative design allows for flat shipping, thereby reducing transportation costs and the need for storage space.

A mounting jig, designed specifically for both basket formats (2l and 3l), will also speed up and simplify operations for producers.

The multiple customization options offer a competitive advantage and will make produce brands stand out on the shelf with high-quality flexographic, lithographic and digital printing options.

The closed corrugated basket for fresh fruits and vegetables was recently pre-qualified for the How2Recycle program, making it easier for producers to obtain certification.

The basket has already made its mark in prestigious food industry competitions.

It was a finalist in the Sustainable Design category for the 2023 PAC Global Awards, for the Prix Innovation en alimentation 2022, which is awarded by the Conseil de la transformation alimentaire du Québec, as well as the Grands Prix DUX 2023, eco-packaging initiatives.
