Bas Groeneweg, CEO of PerfoTec, was one of the experts who spoke at the Global Berry Congress 2022. This congress – organized by Fruitnet – was held at the World Trade Centre in Rotterdam on November 15^th.

At the congress, experts discussed emerging opportunities, transformative technologies, and strategies for a sustainable future. Bas Groeneweg passionately presented our solution for transporting berries in bulk. Our Patented PerfoTec LinerBag is made of bio-based home compostable materials with ideal permeability properties. This innovation resolves key issues like excess moisture and CO2 during the bulk transport of fresh produce. Compared with conventional – macro-perforated packaging – the weight loss of blueberries is 5 times higher than blueberries packed with a micro-perforated PerfoTec LinerBag. Our top-seal solutions extend the shelf-life of strawberries from Spain, Egypt, and California by an additional 2-8 days, depending on the variety.

Bas Groeneweg also announced the upcoming launch of a new pallet-based system to further extend shelf life. PerfoTec is convinced that this solution is a breakthrough for the bulk transport of all varieties of Fresh Produce. 

During networking breaks, many buyers, suppliers, and other key industry players engaged with the PerfoTec staff in person and added their names to the list to be informed when our pallet-based system will be on the market.
