Sealed Air Corporation<\/a> and Bradbury\u2019s Cheese<\/a> have announced a breakthrough in sustainable packaging with the launch of the CRYOVAC\u00ae AutoWrap Lite. This revolutionary system reduces plastic usage by up to 65% compared to traditional thermoformed packs, marking a significant milestone in sustainable packaging solutions.<\/a><\/p>\n The CRYOVAC\u00ae AutoWrap Lite not only minimizes packaging material\u2014using approximately 2 grams for 200 grams of cheese\u2014but also extends the shelf-life of products to nearly 100 days. This innovative packaging system enhances productivity with its increased line speed and eliminates the need for expensive gases by effectively vacuuming out oxygen.<\/p>\n \u201cThe introduction of CRYOVAC\u00ae AutoWrap Lite brings numerous advantages beyond extended shelf-life,\u201d explained Stephanie Poole, Food Business Development Director, EMEA from Sealed Air. \u201cIt enhances productivity and eliminates the need for CO2 and Nitrogen, which are both costly and scarce.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2022, Bradbury\u2019s Cheese was presented with the advantages of the AutoWrap Lite system and conducted two successful trials to test its efficacy. The trials confirmed extended shelf-life across various cheeses, with the second trial ensuring no disruption to the supply chain or customer satisfaction. Encouraged by these results, Bradbury\u2019s invested in the system, solidifying its position as a market innovator.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the largest independent specialty cheese provider, Bradbury\u2019s is committed to exploring new market areas and expanding our product range,\u201d said Brian Owens, Operations Director at Bradbury\u2019s. \u201cThe extended shelf life is crucial, especially during peak seasons like Christmas, when demand surges by 30%.\u201d<\/p>\n This initiative underscores Bradbury\u2019s dedication to sustainability and operational efficiency. By reducing plastic usage and streamlining production processes, Bradbury\u2019s can better plan for longer production runs with fewer changeovers, meeting both environmental goals and consumer expectations.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are delighted to support Bradbury\u2019s in their sustainability ambitions, achieving plastic reduction while enhancing production efficiency,\u201d concluded Poole. \u201cOur collaboration will continue, ensuring Bradbury\u2019s leads the dairy sector<\/a> and expands their reach.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
