Waddinxveen, 15 March 2018 – Eosta, distributor of organic fruits and vegetables has won the Packaging Award 2018 within the category of sustainability. Nature & More was the first company in Europe that has been introducing ‘Natural Branding’ in Europe end 2016, in order to battle against useless, environmental polluting plastic.

The jury: "Due to the laser coding of fruit, Eosta introduces a system change that encourages people to think: do you always need packaging materials, it creates awareness among the consumer and it shows that the packaging can be completely eliminated. The first application of Natural Branding can be found in the organic fruit and vegetables sector, where the technique prevents fruit and vegetables from being considered as non-organic, as the sticker has for example been released. The question is whether it can also be extended to other categories. "

Paul Hendriks, packaging expert at Nature & More: "We are the proud winners of this award. We think that green consumers will be delighted, because research shows again and again that they disapprove of plastic packaging." . Paul continues: “The most sustainable way to pack is not to pack. But in practice it was difficult to realize in the supermarket, due to the obligation that they must be distinguished from conventional products that are sold in bulk. With Natural Branding it is possible”.

Nature & More can now mark fresh produce without using any materials. Natural Branding is the organic approach to marking fruits and vegetables with a laser beam. In the process, a bit of pigment is removed from the outer layer of the peel. This contact-free method was approved by EU Organic certifier SKAL, no additional substances are used, and the method is so superficial that it has no effect on taste or shelf life. The energy needed for a marking is less than 1% of the energy needed for a sticker. The biggest advantage of this innovation is that it is no longer necessary to pack the organic products in harmful plastic foil.

Natural Branding saves tons of plastic and other packaging materials; Just for one product line for one customer, we are saving over 750,000 packaging units, which is tons of plastic. Meanwhile we supply more than 10 customers home and abroad, saving thousands of miles of plastic films.

Du Maroc à la Bard Valley : le parcours de la datte Medjool

La datte Medjool a une histoire bien particulière. Le Maroc est le berceau historique de cette datte très appréciée. En 1919, la production a été durement touchée par l'épidémie de la maladie de Bayoud. La production a alors chuté de manière drastique et la datte Medjool a failli disparaître.
