Pulp molding packaging regulates respiration extending fresh produce shelf life sustainably with natural materials.

While plastic packaging has long dominated the fresh food industry, its excessive sealing poses challenges for preserving fruits and vegetables. After harvest, produce continues to respire, releasing moisture and ethylene gas. Condensation within sealed plastic packaging fosters microbial growth, while accumulated ethylene accelerates ripening and decay. Research shows strawberries in plastic packaging decay at rates over twice those in breathable pulp molding alternatives.

Derived from natural materials like sugarcane bagasse, bamboo fiber, and recycled paper, pulp molding effectively addresses these issues through its eco-friendly properties and unique physical structure. Its optimized breathability absorbs excess moisture to prevent spoilage and regulates ethylene concentration to extend shelf life. Customizable designs—such as grooves for apples, partitions for strawberries, and supports for bananas—provide tailored protection. Proven results include:Lychee shelf life extended to 30 daysCitrus preserved for up to 3 monthsXianju bayberries lasting over 1 month (vs. 7 days previously), with core quality metrics maintained.

Innovations like food-grade edible coatings further elevate pulp molding from mere containers to functional preservation systems, ensuring safety and sustainability.Beyond preservation, pulp molding’s natural composition enables direct transplanting of seedling pots and biodegradation into nutrients.
