What we see in the shopping malls is basically plastic packaging. In fact, in the wholesale market, we will find more carton packaging. For plastic and paper packaging, it is better or more convenient. At present, with the development of environmental protection and the concept of environmental protection and greening deeply rooted in the hearts of people, our purchase and use will be more inclined to paper materials. Although the waterproof and moisture-proof performance of carton packaging products is worse than that of plastics, it is better than plastics in terms of cost and sustainable development of environmental protection. Therefore, it has become a major trend that carton packaging is suitable for replacing plastics.
Fruits are fresh products, so it is difficult to keep fresh and transport them. Now, the major online shopping platforms have invested in community group buying, and we have been able to purchase various fresh products from the network. Fast logistics has greatly shortened the time. Therefore, if we do a good job of protection, safety and freshness preservation on the packaging, we can look forward to our products in various regions. The research results of a foreign carton association show that the fruits packaged in cartons take longer to keep fresh than those packaged in plastic bags. The main reason is that the paper packaging will inhibit the growth of bacteria. Carton packaging can trap microorganisms between fibers and keep them away from vegetables and fruits, so that the fresh-keeping environment of fruits is equivalent to little bacteria, which is more conducive to fruit preservation. Therefore, in the wholesale market, more fruits are packed in cartons and paper box. For this kind of scientific research, it not only increases our confidence that paper packaging will replace plastic as an environmentally friendly packaging. It is a good basic demonstration for exploring the performance of paper packaging and developing other functions.
For example, focus on pathogenic microorganisms that can cause foodborne diseases, and pathogenic microorganisms that can affect the shelf life and quality of fruits. Inoculate microorganisms on the surface of corrugated board and plastic respectively, and then observe the change of the number of microorganisms with time. The result is that after several hours of inoculation, the pollution of corrugated cardboard surface is much lower than that of plastic surface. Once we had many misunderstandings about carton packaging, but we know this advantage through such research results. Not only can we not do without cartons, but also make cartons exert a subtle influence to protect us.
