The Opal Dunnage Solution has a positive and valuable impact across various industries and consumers in the community and global society. Our dunnage solution is a column-like corrugated structure to limit product movement during container transportation of meat exports. Without the necessary dunnage support, these boxes frequently move in the containers during transportation and can lead to product spoilage and food waste, which is costly for meat and food processors. Importantly, it ensures more food lands on plates by limiting food waste during transportation. Our dunnage solution addresses these challenges and provides numerous additional key benefits.
Transit achievements from our dunnage solution include:
- Opal customer and end-consumer success stories, such as the trial of our packaging product for customer beef exports to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Asia.
- Winner of packaging solution awards, namely the Australasian Packaging Innovation & Design (PIDA) Awards
- Ability to creatively conceptualise further application developments of this solution for broader industries.
- Supply chain innovation with greater efficiencies for both transportation and storage.
- EPS dunnage can enable 200 boxes packed per pallet, our dunnage allows for 1,800 per pallet. This amounts to an impressive 800 per cent increase in efficiency!
- The ability to store more boxes per pallet through the corrugated cardboard dunnage indicates that the solution results in less trucks on the road, resulting in lower carbon emissions.
