In the food packaging industry, the use of a material composition capable of <\/span>increasing shelf life<\/b> is a key component in ensuring product safety and maintaining taste and freshness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the use of a material capable of extending the shelf life of a product <\/span>reduces food waste<\/b> by creating a longer window of time for grocery shops to store the product before it reaches the hands of the end consumer.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where EVOH barrier food trays come in, a packaging material that reduces the amount of oxygen permeating the plastic by incorporating it into a multilayer or extrusion-laminated structure. EVOH film makes it possible to maintain a <\/span>high shelf-life <\/b>of products contained in modified atmosphere (ATM), such as fresh pasta, cold cuts and cheese.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what specifically is the EVOH barrier, what functions does it perform in food trays and what are its main benefits for the environment?<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the EVOH barrier?<\/h2>\n

EVOH stands for <\/span>ethylene-vinyl-alcohol copolymer,<\/b> a material known for its exceptional ability to form an <\/span>effective barrier<\/b> against oxygen, gases, and vapours. EVOH film is used as an inner layer in food trays to ensure <\/span>maximum freshness and durability<\/b> of packaged products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its ability to reduce gas permeability makes the EVOH barrier an ideal option to protect food from external factors that could compromise its quality, ensuring optimal preservation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Functionality of the EVOH barrier in food trays<\/h2>\n

The EVOH barrier acts as an <\/span>invisible shield<\/b>, preventing oxygen and other contaminants from penetrating into food trays. This feature is particularly crucial for <\/span>foods that are sensitive to oxidation<\/b> and degradation caused by air, such as fresh pasta, cold-cut meats, and cheeses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its presence helps maintain the freshness of food, <\/span>preserving its flavour, aroma, and texture<\/b>. The EVOH barrier is highly resistant to odour transmission, prevents flavours from mixing and ensures that each food retains its taste identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the EVOH film gives the plastic food tray <\/span>high transparency<\/b> and low haze, producing optimal display clarity. The use of EVOH on the outer surface of a package provides excellent brightness for a <\/span>better package appearance<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Environmental benefits of the EVOH barrier<\/h2>\n

In addition to their food preservation benefits, EVOH food trays offer important <\/span>environmental advantages<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since they reduce the need for thicker packaging or the use of more aggressive preservatives, they help <\/span>reduce waste<\/b> and environmental impact. EVOH barrier trays <\/span>allow products to last longer<\/b>, reducing the number of foods thrown away due to loss of freshness.<\/span><\/p>\n

EVOH plastic food trays enjoy a high degree of <\/span>weather resistance<\/b>. Even when exposed to sunlight, the polymer retains its properties and the food it contains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, the <\/span>higher permeability resistance<\/b> allows the use of multiple packs or additional packaging layers to be reduced, contributing to an overall reduction in plastic waste. This eco-friendly approach is a step towards a more environmentally friendly packaging system.<\/span><\/p>\n
