If your production includes products for food storage in any way, utilizing Gaia Fresh EG 600 Plus may be just what you need. If you are in the plastic manufacturing industry, you have likely used additives in one way or another. However, when it comes to plastics produced for food use, there is certainly more nuance to selecting the right product to stop the ripening process. Plastics and food are inextricably linked. Phoenix Plastics has introduced a new product to our line of plastic additives for just this purpose.
Here are three ways your production will benefit from the addition of Phoenix’s Gaia Fresh EG 600 Plus.
Slow the Ripening Process Gaia Fresh EG 600 Plus
The purpose of Gaia Fresh EG 600 Plus is to slow the ripening process of fresh fruits, vegetables, and other foods. This works by controlling exposure — and therefore absorption — of ethylene gas. Gaia Fresh prevents oxygen and water vapor permeation. Considering its use in the food storage production process, Gaia Fresh EG 600 Plus has been developed using GRAS-approved and FDA-compliant additives.
Gaia Fresh EG 600 Plus: A Novel Product
Because Gaia Fresh is so new, not many plastic additives suppliers provide a similar product. By taking advantage of Gaia Fresh’s novelty, you can increase your production value. Phoenix’s innovation of the Gaia Fresh has no effect on color, so you can continue to produce colorful products for your food storage clients.
Cost-Effective
Gaia Fresh EG 600 Plus maintains good bubble stability when run as low as 6um. Considering this additive’s potential applications, its micronized components make it ideal for use on film. Moreover, a little product goes a long way in your production. Gaia Fresh is available in either a 50 lb. box or a 220 lb. drum, from which either size will have plenty of additive for many projects.
Helps Reduce Food Waste
In addition to extending freshness, advanced plastic additives like Gaia Fresh EG 600 Plus contribute to broader sustainability efforts by helping to reduce food waste. By slowing the ripening process and preserving the quality of perishable goods, these barrier technologies enable food products to remain viable for longer periods, minimizing spoilage during storage and transportation. This not only benefits manufacturers and retailers by reducing losses but also has a positive environmental impact, as less food waste means fewer greenhouse gas emissions associated with decomposing organic matter. The integration of such additives into food packaging aligns with industry trends focused on both food security and environmental responsibility, offering a practical solution for a more sustainable supply chain.
Easy Integration into Existing Manufacturing Processes
One of the key advantages of Gaia Fresh EG 600 Plus is its seamless compatibility with existing plastic manufacturing workflows. This additive can be incorporated without requiring significant changes to your production equipment or processes, allowing for a smooth transition and minimal downtime. Its micronized form ensures even dispersion throughout the polymer matrix, resulting in consistent performance across batches. This ease of integration means manufacturers can quickly adopt Gaia Fresh EG 600 Plus to enhance their food storage products without sacrificing efficiency or increasing operational complexity.
If your production includes food storage, incorporating Phoenix Plastics’ Gaia Fresh EG 600 Plus is a great way to differentiate yourself from the competition; your novel capability will contribute to exceptional product development.
