The new compostable Eosta / Nature & More sugar cane tray packaging is similar to fine cardboard and made of waste material. It is 100% gentech free and tree-friendly.
Nature & More packaging expert Paul Hendriks said: "We are now selling organic vine tomatoes, pears and physalis packed with the sugarcane materials and our customers are very pleased with the first results."
Carrefour, a supermarket chain in France, is one of its first clients to pack its organic fruit and vegetables with the new materials.
Carrefour product manager Julie Mahmoun said: "We encourage our suppliers to minimise the environmental footprint of packaging by focusing on recycling and working with renewable and waste materials."
