The ‘coat’ is just as important as the product itself, right? Europe Retail Packing are experts in packing fruit, vegetables, potatoes and herbs! We combine protection with a good dose of flair and a green heart. Our packing choices? Smart and always with an eye to the future. With more than 60 packing lines, we take the freshness of products to a higher level, while at the same time taking the environment into account.
Our experts strive for maximum freshness. Each product completes an individual journey, with different distances and degrees of vulnerability. We also look critically at the product’s ‘coat’ and we anticipate retail wishes with less environmentally harmful, transparent and user-friendly packaging. For example, we use recycled plastic and aim to use the thinnest plastic possible. In addition, we remain constantly informed about alternative sustainable packaging materials and mono-packaging solutions.

Much of avocado's success is due to its taste, versatility and content of beneficial nutrients. These are primarily monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition to the greater focus on health, increasing environmental awareness is also driving growth. Did you know that growing avocados requires significantly less water than growing pork, veal and chocolate?
Our specialists go for fresh, which means, fresh enough for that moment! As some products travel more metres than others. Or are more vulnerable than others, so we take this into account. And we also look at the ‘jacket’ itself. We work with recycled plastic and the thinnest possible plastic. In addition, we are always looking for other sustainable packaging materials. Like a banderole as packaging material. The packaging consists of a cardboard punnet with a paper strap to hold the product. Flowpack film and plastic punnets are therefore not necessary. This ensures a reduction of almost 6,000 kg of plastic on an annual basis. Almost 12 pallets of plastic!
Next to that, we extended our machinery with topseal machines. Many supermarkets are switching to another packaging for soft fruits, such as grapes and blueberries. With these machines, we respond to the retail's demand for packaging with a reduced environmental impact that is transparent and user-friendly.
In addition to packaging, when selecting a product we also focus on quality and ensure the repacking in the right packaging.
In addition to packing fruit, vegetables and potatoes, we also specialize in packing meal boxes. These fresh and tasty meal boxes offer a quick and easy solution for preparing healthy meals. This convenience trend is booming, and we have contributed to it from the start.
