DS Smith, a manufacturer of fibre-based packaging, has introduced the DryPack seafood box, a recyclable and water-resistant solution designed to assist seafood processors.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The company claims that its DryPack is a Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)-approved product that can maintain fresh fish below 40\u00b0F for over 40 hours when filled with ice.<\/p>\n

The company highlighted that DryPack is the only container board seafood box approved for air freight by the International Air Transport Association.<\/p>\n

This approval enables seafood processors to safely ship fresh fish over both short and long distances.<\/p>\n

The product is delivered to processors in a flat form, helping to reduce both incoming freight expenses and fuel emissions.<\/p>\n

DS Smith is producing the DryPack boxes at its specialised packaging facilities in the US, employing its patented Greencoat technology.<\/p>\n

This technology is said to offer a food-safe, moisture-resistant, recyclable coated box solution with United States Department of Agriculture, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, US Food and Drug Administation, and FBA certifications.<\/p>\n

In addition to seafood packaging, Greencoat technology is used in the fresh poultry and produce sectors to substitute conventional wax-coated boxes, the company said in a press release.<\/p>\n

Through the introduction of DryPack, DS Smith seeks to advance its sustainability objectives by eliminating plastic from the packaging industry.<\/p>\n

DS Smith North America marketing director Cheryl Holliday said: \u201cDS Smith is changing how the seafood industry delivers seafood, salmon and other fish from catch to customers with DryPack, a proven, 100% recyclable, fibre-based box that meets uncompromising standards and stands up to the rigour of processing and transportation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, DS Smith was acquired by<\/a> sustainable packaging solutions\u00a0provider International Paper.<\/p>\n
