Micro Perforated Films Market News:

In January 2023, Dutch modified atmosphere-packaging company Perfo Tec has created laser micro-perforated bags to improve the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables. The new technology provides controlled air exchange, allowing the shelf life of products such as spinach to be extended from seven to 21 days. The LinerBags, intended for bananas, can extend their shelf life by three weeks while lowering handling expenses and food waste. While a bit more costly, the advantages are enhanced quality and lower CO2 emissions along the supply chain.

In March 2025, PerfoTec, reported that the company's laser micro-perforated bags are able to add three weeks to bananas' shelf life. This new technology enhances the packaging's atmosphere, which eliminates moisture and CO2 that cause produce to spoil. Hardeman stressed that this innovation not only increases product quality but also reduces food waste, land use, and CO2 emissions along the supply chain.
