Paranova and AMFresh launch fibre punnet for grapes

Paranova has partnered with fresh produce supplier AMFresh to roll out around one million fibre-based punnets for its BOOMBITES grapes, using Paranova's FibreFresh HeatSeal range. The launch extends the fibre punnet format beyond its earlier use in tomatoes, positioning it as an alternative to plastic trays for fresh produce.
