Biopack Environmental Solutions, which designs manufactures and supplies biodegradable and compostable packaging products, has entered into an agreement with Solupack Sistemas de Embalagens for distribution in Latin America.
Biopack packaging is made using a sugarcane by-product called bagasse, which is abundant in Brazil, the world’s largest producer of sugarcane.
Gerald Lau, CEO of Biopack, said in a press release that the Latin American market was ripe for its fresh produce packaging lines.
“Latin American countries are a huge source of all the fresh fruits and vegetables exported all year long on a global basis. The packaging needs for these producers are immense, and we look forward to penetrating this market.'
Mauro Kernkraut, a founder of Solupack, said the company was delighted to have Biopack as a new strategic partner.
“Biopack's fully compostable packages represent an exceptional opportunity for us to distribute in Latin America their innovative products, which are very much in tune with our philosophy to the conservation of our global environment with better packages.
“This partnership will strengthen and expand our presence in the region and contribute to our long-term growth objectives.'
Biopack's line of compostable packaging is currently sold in 12 European countries, as well as North America, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Africa.
