The US Department of Agriculture’s food science experts said that a new type of environmentally friendly food packaging material was successfully developed. This new type of packaging material is completely made of crushed strawberries, so it is very environmentally friendly and it is estimated that this new type of material will likely be replaced in the future. Traditional polyethylene plastic film has become the main material of the food packaging industry.

At the same time, this newly developed food packaging material has no difference in terms of performance from traditional products. The food packaging film made of it can also prevent the infiltration of oxygen, so as to achieve the effect of food preservation. Since this new type of material is mainly derived from vegetables and fruits that are not suitable for consumption, it is a naturally decomposable, environmentally friendly material.

In testing, packaging films made from this “magic” material not only served to preserve freshness, but also improved the taste of fruits such as bananas and apples. (Trancy)
