COOL CONVERTED PRODUCT
UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA | Working with PerfoTec, a Netherlands-based shelf-life extension technology company, the team at Uflex Ltd. has developed a new biodegradable film, Flexfresh, for packaging flowers. The film can keep flowers breathing in hydrated oxygen and release excess humidity during transport, which can create diseases such as Botrytis. Using PerfoTec's Fast Respiration Meter, the oxygen demand of flowers is measured, and using a patented laser technology to make micro perforation on Flexfresh film allows enough oxygen for the flowers to stay alive and prevent them from excess oxidation.
