SOUTH AFRICA – Mpact Plastic Containers is set to significantly boost South Africa’s export market for fresh produce with the introduction of the Euro Jumbo Bin.
This innovation is designed to improve the transport and storage of fresh produce from South Africa to Europe, while maintaining product quality and cutting costs.
Exporting fruits and vegetables often requires careful packaging to preserve freshness and avoid damage during transit.
The Euro Jumbo Bin addresses these needs by allowing exporters, importers, and pack houses to transport produce in bulk, while keeping quality intact.
“The key advantage of these bins is the enhanced quality control,” explained a senior executive from Mpact Plastic Containers. “By using these containers, fresh produce is packed closer to its point of consumption, which means it arrives in better condition, enhancing customer satisfaction.”
This shift to bulk containers also streamlines operations, reducing handling costs at packing facilities.
With the ability to manage larger volumes of produce, businesses can save on labour while minimizing product damage, ultimately improving overall efficiency.
The new Euro Jumbo Bin not only supports operational efficiency but also promotes environmental sustainability. By reducing packaging materials and improving handling, the bins help to minimize food waste.
The improved protection provided by the bins leads to less spoilage during transit, further enhancing the value for exporters.
The bins are made from recyclable polypropylene or high-density polyethylene, allowing for reuse and reducing their environmental impact.
As Mpact Plastic Containers focuses on sustainability, the Euro Jumbo Bin represents a step forward in creating eco-friendly supply chains for the fresh produce industry.
The Euro Jumbo Bin includes several features that make it particularly effective for transporting fresh produce. Smooth, rounded corners minimize damage to delicate fruits and vegetables, while the optimised design maximizes the packing capacity of each bin.
Superior ventilation, achieved through multiple slots, ensures that produce stays fresh throughout its journey.
In addition, the bins are equipped with RFID tags, enabling advanced tracking and simplifying logistical management. This helps maintain traceability from South Africa to Europe, ensuring that customers receive fresh, high-quality produce.
One of the key benefits of the Euro Jumbo Bin is its flexibility. The bins are available for both rental and purchase, giving businesses the option to choose the best solution for their operational needs.
Once the bins arrive in Europe, they can either be returned to South Africa or sold to local customers, creating a closed-loop system that enhances supply chain efficiency.
“Our Euro Jumbo Bin integrates seamlessly into the supply chain, supporting exporters and helping them meet the demands of the European market,” the executive noted.
This solution is designed to provide exporters with a reliable, cost-effective method of transporting fresh produce, ensuring that it reaches customers in optimal condition.
Mpact Plastic Containers continues to focus on innovation and sustainability, as seen in other recent projects such as the development of recyclable products and the investment in a new factory to expand production capabilities.
The Euro Jumbo Bin represents the company’s ongoing commitment to improving logistics and supporting the growth of South Africa’s fresh produce export industry.
