Petroleum-based plastic materials stay in the environment for hundreds of years, entering the food chain and negatively affecting wildlife. Biodegradable packaging, made by vegetable material, has appeared as a solution since they decompose naturally, thus not affecting the environment. The worldwide innovation, Hiperbaric Bulk technology for processing big volumes of liquids in bulk, potentially adds to the solution in the High Pressure Processing field, since it allows to use any kind of packaging for HPP beverages. The plastic pollution caused by today’s lifestyle, such as the use of single-use/disposable convenience plastic products, has become one of the most concerning and urgent issues to solve on the planet. Overall, these materials made from fossil fuels stay in the environment for hundreds of years, usually ending up in the sea. Millions of animals are affected by this type of pollutions, some of them being killed due to entanglement and/or starvation. Furthermore, the exposition to the environmental elements (such as the sun or the waves) breakdown these products into microplastics. These spread throughout the planet contaminating the air, water, and food chain. It is, therefore, paramount to find alternatives to these petroleum fuels plastics.

I want to know more about biodegradable packaging suitable for HPP and the multiple benefits this technology can provide to my products in terms of food safety and quality.
Dear Zhang Shouqin, there is a wide variety of materials and formats within the «biodegradable packaging» label, thus the benefits will vary from one to another. The main interest of replacing traditional plastic-based materials for those biodegradable solutions is to improve the sustainability and quality perception of the brand without compromising the extension of shelf lives and safety brought by HPP.
