As a “one-stop shop,” we at PerfoTec ensure less waste through our innovative technology, which extends the freshness of vegetables, fruits, and flowers. This technology not only reduces costs, but also contributes to a better world by reducing CO2 emissions. Our goals align with the global climate change mitigation goals.

Our actions and developments are focused on reducing food waste. This reduction is achievable when the quality and freshness of produce are extended. Prolonging freshness from farm to consumer is made possible through Modified Atmosphere Packaging.

The atmosphere within the packaging must be finely tuned to create the ideal conditions based on the specific respiration rate and ripening process of each fruit and vegetable.

By effectively managing the Modified Atmosphere Packaging, we control the freshness of your greens, flowers, and fruit. This strategy extends freshness and, in turn, reduces waste.

"As a Target supplier for McDonald's in Europe, we are very proud that we use the O2Controle from PerfoTec to make a difficult salad mix. The gas level in the 1kg bags with iceberg lettuce, are all the same. No fluctuation, that means no Food Waste and consistent quality. "

"At our farm located near Brussels we grow asparagus, endives and Brussels Sprouts. The Brussels sprouts are grown for the Belgium market but also for export to other European countries, USA, Canada and Asia. We use a Perfotec laser system on our packaging machines to adjust the amount of perforations in the packaging films. By measuring the respiration rate of the Brussels Sprouts daily and based on the specifications of the transport to the shop we can choose the correct transpiration rate of the bags to extend the shelf life of the product. Since we started using this technology we saw a significant increase in shelf life for the Brussels sprouts, we can now store or transport in bags for more than 2 weeks without any weight or quality loss."

"Perfotec is a World leader in reducing food waste. EarthFresh has been collaborating with Perfotec for several years to bring innovative solutions to the potato business. We utilize their proprietary system to measure the respiration of different varieties of potatoes during their life cycle. Then we customize the perforations on our packaging using their laser perforation equipment, to minimize the respiration of our packaged products. With Perfotec EarthFresh has seen significant enhancements to shelf life, and we feel that the potato industry will benefit greatly by the reductions in food waste that these technologies will bring."

"Church Brothers Farms employs PerfoTec’s Fast Respirometer daily to determine the respiration rate of different fresh-cut vegetables and salads to adjust packaging parameters to seasonal and regional variations in the physiology of fresh produce to maximize its postharvest life. This has improved the organoleptic quality and shelf life of our fresh-cut produce and expedited our new product development process. Currently, we are conducting trials with PerfoTec’s new bio-based liner bag for shelf life extension and waste reduction of fresh produce throughout our supply chain. Over the 10+ years, I have worked with PerfoTec, the company continuously innovated in the space of the fresh-cut industry to improve freshness, reduce waste and increase sustainability.

"We have been using PerfoTec technology for well over 10 years now & boy what a game changer this has been. From reducing inventory holding costs which improved cash flows to designing unique packaging for products grown on our own farms. We learnt quickly that the same product behaves differently depending on the season / weather conditions & at the click of a button we are able to accommodate this change, which had led to massive savings in wastage & claims. Perhaps, the biggest gain has been seen in this area, which in turn has greatly improved the bottom line. This technology has also enabled us to ship product by sea which is a massive game changer considering the skyrocketing freight costs. Please feel free to contact me for more help or information. PerfoTec is definitely “Technology That Works”"
