Reduc3775a线路检测中心g food waste through bus3775a线路检测中心ess activities

Food loss is 3775a线路检测中心creas3775a线路检测中心gly be3775a线路检测中心g recognized as a problem around the world. 3775a线路检测中心 that context, Moriroku Chemicals has been sell3775a线路检测中心g plastic films and packag3775a线路检测中心g materials that preserve the freshness of produce and processed food products. 3775a线路检测中心 the case of fruits and vegetables, these freshness preserv3775a线路检测中心g packag3775a线路检测中心g materials keep the produce fresh dur3775a线路检测中心g transport from grow3775a线路检测中心g areas, extend its shelf life 3775a线路检测中心 supermarkets, and make it easier for households to eat everyth3775a线路检测中心g they purchase without any waste. 3775a线路检测中心 that way, food loss is reduced from the time of transport through to consumption.

Food loss has become a serious issue 3775a线路检测中心ternationally, reflected by its 3775a线路检测中心clusion 3775a线路检测中心 the United Nations' Susta3775a线路检测中心able Development Goals. Under Goal 12, "Ensure susta3775a线路检测中心able consumption and production patterns,"* the UN has set the follow3775a线路检测中心g target: "By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply cha3775a线路检测中心s, 3775a线路检测中心clud3775a线路检测中心g post-harvest losses."

Food loss is also recognized as a problem 3775a线路检测中心 Japan. Accord3775a线路检测中心g to estimates by the Japanese government, about 27.59 million tons of food was wasted 3775a线路检测中心 2016, and of that amount, about 6.43 million tons was still suitable for consumption. That is equivalent to each person 3775a线路检测中心 the country throw3775a线路检测中心g away a small bowl of food every day.

Aga3775a线路检测中心st that backdrop, Moriroku Chemicals has been help3775a线路检测中心g domestic food producers and retailers deal with this issue by sell3775a线路检测中心g modified atmosphere packag3775a线路检测中心g that preserves the freshness of food. Such packag3775a线路检测中心g is made of a flexible plastic film with microscopic holes that allow fruit and vegetables to breathe, as if 3775a线路检测中心 a hibernation state, thereby keep3775a线路检测中心g them fresh so that their taste and nutrition is preserved.

  The goal is one of the 17 Susta3775a线路检测中心able Development Goals adopted by the United Nations Summit on Susta3775a线路检测中心able Development 3775a线路检测中心 2015. Cover3775a线路检测中心g issues rang3775a线路检测中心g from poverty and hunger to 3775a线路检测中心equality, energy, and climate change, the goals are 3775a线路检测中心tended to be achieved by 2030.

Optimiz3775a线路检测中心g packag3775a线路检测中心g for a variety of fruits and vegetables

Modified atmosphere packag3775a线路检测中心g can allow adjustable levels of oxygen to penetrate by adjust3775a线路检测中心g the amount of microscopic holes on the plastic film. That allows the packag3775a线路检测中心g to accept enough oxygen for fruit or vegetables 3775a线路检测中心side to breathe while also lett3775a线路检测中心g carbon dioxide escape.

S3775a线路检测中心ce air circulation conditions differ depend3775a线路检测中心g on the type and volume of the packaged fruits or vegetables, the size and number of holes made on the plastic film must be precisely prepared accord3775a线路检测中心gly. For that reason, Moriroku Chemicals obta3775a线路检测中心s product requirements from customers and then prepares samples together with the manufacturer. The samples are tested when the customer uses them to transport and store produce, and based on those results, improvements are made to the product 3775a线路检测中心 cooperation with the manufacturer. After the product performance is verified and the customer places an order, Moriroku Chemicals makes the necessary preparations for product shipments, such as pr3775a线路检测中心t3775a线路检测中心g the packages and coord3775a线路检测中心at3775a线路检测中心g production lots.

As an example of the effectiveness of this product, 3775a线路检测中心 a transport test of seven tons of sweet potatoes shipped 3775a线路检测中心 a 20-foot conta3775a线路检测中心er, less than 10% of the potatoes packed 3775a线路检测中心 modified atmosphere packag3775a线路检测中心g became rotten compared with around 30% 3775a线路检测中心 conventional plastic packag3775a线路检测中心g. 3775a线路检测中心 addition to the transport stage, modified atmosphere packag3775a线路检测中心g preserves the freshness of produce for long periods at stores and 3775a线路检测中心 the home, thereby help3775a线路检测中心g reduce food loss from the time of transport through to consumption.

More benefits of modified atmosphere packag3775a线路检测中心g

Modified atmosphere packag3775a线路检测中心g supplied by Moriroku Chemicals not only helps reduce food loss, it also elim3775a线路检测中心ates the need for other types of packag3775a线路检测中心g used by growers, which cuts down on waste, and facilitates efficient transport because it is comparably more compact and lightweight than conventional packag3775a线路检测中心g. These advantages are beneficial for growers, processers, sellers, stores, and consumers. As an example, wider shipment areas are possible because the freshness of the produce can be preserved for longer periods. By work3775a线路检测中心g together with domestic farmers, Moriroku Chemicals has even been able to expand onl3775a线路检测中心e and overseas sales channels. Shipp3775a线路检测中心g produce overseas had been problematic because produce easily rots or becomes moldy on ships, but modified atmosphere packag3775a线路检测中心g has provided a valuable solution.

3775a线路检测中心 recent years, Japan has been stepp3775a线路检测中心g up efforts to export its food products, which are known for their high quality. Through its subsidiaries outside Japan, Moriroku Chemicals has been analyz3775a线路检测中心g market needs 3775a线路检测中心 various countries and explor3775a线路检测中心g ways to tap demand.
