The IV International Berry Congress confirms the packaging trend consumers will want worldwide.
The International Berry Congress in Huelva, Spain, this year in its 4th edition, as a great opportunity to share not only the new technologies and products we’ve developed in the past year, but also to present where we plan to go next. We continually research global trends of the sector, and use this information to predict how we think production, product, and package will evolve. Events like the International Berry Congress are perfect moments to get feedback on our ideas from all parts of the industry, and incorporate their opinions into our plans as well.
This year, the strongest trend we see is growing in all sectors, not only berries. Consumers are increasingly seeking out sustainable packaging options, though still wanting to remain loyal to package trends such as smaller snack-sized containers that are easy to carry. Local packaging experts Ejidozone have also bet on this trend, offering fully compostable and recyclable options, such as small cardboard trays and biodegradable plastics. The response was extremely favorable from attendees to the congress from all parts of the supply chain, indicating a likely confirmation of the significance of this trend on the rise.
