Natureworx is offering Fresh ‘n Smart™ products – intelligent packaging that extends post-harvest shelf-life, reduces food and packaging waste and positions growers as a responsible supplier. Natureworx’s Fresh ‘n Smart™ packaging systems work hand in hand with Mother Nature to suspend the natural ripening process, according to a press release.
Many growers nationwide have saved on CO2 monitoring systems and labor costs by switching to Fresh ‘n Smart™ environmentally-intelligent packaging. Tia Ross, founder of NatureWorx said, “My blueberry growers are able to pick and ship without the need for gas. We are working on new packaging for broccoli too, eliminating the waxed boxes with ice. The technology shows great results on other produce from strawberries, cherries to peppers. It’s just so exciting to think about this revolutionary change in the produce industry.”
Fresh ‘n Smart™ prevents dehydration and weight loss, extends the season and allows produce to retain its natural flavor and nutritional value.
“Fresh ‘n Smart™ is a game changer. We will rewrite the produce industry’s protocol manual. The technology is just hitting the United States. Natureworx and Fresh ‘n Smart™ are ready to roll,” said Keith Dunne, Technical Sales Manager.
Interested growers should contact Tia Ross at Natureworx (503) 709-1153 or Keith Dunne (559) 903-8313 for a Fresh ‘n Smart™ packaging demonstration.
Hood kits and liners are available now.
