ProVantage Powerflute®, the semi-chemical fluting produced at the mill, is a high performance and top quality containerboard grade. Due to its high strength, moisture resistance and durability, it is a key component of fresh fruit and vegetable trays and boxes as well as specialized applications. Fit-for-purpose packaging plays an important role in protecting fresh produce, which is vital considering approximately a third of the world’s food is lost or wasted every year. ProVantage Powerflute® is ideally placed to meet the growing demand for paper-based fresh food packaging solutions that are sustainable by design, thereby minimizing food waste and reducing the use of unnecessary plastic.
