A Fresh Approach to Produce Life Extension
PrimePro® is a packaging technology designed to extend the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables. It extends shelf life by removing ethylene gas, a powerful plant hormone that triggers the process of ripening and decay.
Consumers know fresh produce is the key to a healthy lifestyle and demand the best-quality produce for their tables. Grocery stores want to attract customers by having top-quality fresh produce, year-round. Growers, packers and shippers are trying to increase profits and cut costs while keeping up with the constantly changing demands of a competitive marketplace. As the produce industry tries to satisfy these demands, shelf-life extension technologies become more and more important.
