Mondi has partnered with Cartro, a leading provider of corrugated packaging in Mexico, to enter the fresh produce segment with a new avocado box that is sustainable by design.
Fit-for-purpose packaging designs and paper grades are an important part of protecting fresh produce. Mondi’s high-quality portfolio of paper grades, ‘FirstClassFlutes by Mondi’ and ProVantage Kraftliner Aqua, meet these requirements and together, the two companies have developed a completely new corrugated box.
Juan Javier Gonzalez, CEO at Cartro, says, “Our company is one of the biggest independent corrugators in Mexico and known for reliability and quality. When we decided to enter a new market, we needed to be able to stick to our guiding principle of ‘Quality on time’. We wanted the new packaging to be a quality reference point, so we joined forces with Mondi to develop a lightweight corrugated box that can withstand the challenges of long haul transport in humid environments.”
Markus Gärtner, CEO Corrugated Packaging at Mondi said, “We have developed a customer-centric approach called EcoSolutions, which helps us to deliver the right sustainable packaging solutions for our customers. We partner with our customers to help them achieve their sustainability goals with solutions that are fit for purpose and sustainable by design.”
