The First Fertilizer Bag to Bag® 100% r-PET.
Country: Brazil
Category: Packaging Materials and Components
On a planet where 30% of the population suffers from food insecurity, fertilizers play a key role, and industrial packaging is responsible for ensuring that these fertilizers, seeds and other valuable resources reach the rural producer. In this context, Packem has combined the innovation of packaging that promotes sustainability and the reduction of environmental impacts, with the aim of minimizing waste in the food chain.
The main challenge was to adapt a package made from a PCR source in order to maintain the properties of the fertilizer, thus guaranteeing the parameters and characteristics of the material that directly impact the quality of Agriculture. Overcoming this challenge, the project was expanded to seeds and grains.
