In an exciting development, we have partnered with Asahi, renowned producers of a polyolefin film that has been utilised for nearly three decades by major mushroom growers in Japan, including two of the largest mushroom companies, distributing to nearly 4,000 supermarkets throughout Japan.
With this exciting collaboration, Perfect Automation proudly introduces Suntec Film, a mono polyolefin film, to the Australian market—a proven replacement for PVC that paves the way for a sustainable future.
Suntec Film addresses the industry’s challenge of finding alternatives capable of handling delicate produce such as mushrooms, plus run efficiently on high-speed Tray Stretch Wrappers like Omori. The Suntec Film successfully transitions fresh produce away from PVC film.
Notably, the success of this polyolefin film in Japanese mushroom market, which undergo similar processing and logistics conditions to those in Australia, has shown in some cases mushrooms holding their natural colour 2-4 days longer compared to using PVC, naturally this needs to be proven locally.
Suntec Films have proven their efficacy across various applications, including mushrooms and various fresh food.
