FRESKIBO and GasN2: Together Towards More Sustainable, Efficient, and Safe Packaging
In the dynamic world of food, product preservation and freshness are essential for success and customer satisfaction. FRESKIBO aims to reinvent the traditional way of eating fish, making it more practical and easier to prepare at home. To achieve this, it develops innovative offerings that prioritize both food safety and sustainability. Through its collaboration with GasN2, the company has enhanced its packaging processes, optimizing the preservation of product quality and flavor while significantly reducing its environmental impact.
The Role of Protective Atmosphere Packaging at FRESKIBO
For FRESKIBO, quality is a top priority. The company uses protective atmosphere packaging, a technique that preserves food freshness by incorporating specific gases tailored to each type of product. This method not only extends the shelf life of the products but also ensures the preservation of their organoleptic properties (flavor, texture, aroma).
Innovation for Positive Impact: GasN2’s Solution
Previously, FRESKIBO’s packaging system required 800 gas cylinders annually, which had to be transported by truck, resulting in high logistical costs and emissions. This model involved 84 deliveries per year, generating up to 8.400 kg of CO₂ annually.
To tackle this challenge, FRESKIBO implemented GasN2’s innovative dual generator, model GN9O6, capable of simultaneously producing nitrogen (8.93 Nm³/h) and oxygen (11.20 Nm³/h). This solution has allowed for a 57% reduction in CO₂ emissions by eliminating gas transport, with a positive impact on sustainability and efficiency.
Benefits and Advantages of On-Site Gas Generation at FRESKIBO
The implementation of the dual generator has not only optimized FRESKIBO’s packaging process efficiency but also delivered several environmental, economic, and operational benefits:
– Reduction of Environmental Impact: Eliminating cylinder transport has reduced CO₂ emissions and minimized the company’s carbon footprint.
– Cost Control and Economic Savings: On-site gas generation reduces costs associated with transportation and external storage.
– Continuous 24/7 Production: Autonomous production ensures FRESKIBO has a reliable and constant supply of gases.
– Risk Reduction and Self-Sufficiency: Eliminating truck traffic and cylinders reduces transport-related risks and increases self-sufficiency.
– Over 50% Energy Savings: Thanks to the on-site generation system, FRESKIBO has optimized the energy consumption of its packaging process.
A More Sustainable and Efficient Future
The collaboration between FRESKIBO and GasN2 marks a turning point in the food packaging industry, demonstrating that sustainability can be achieved without sacrificing quality or efficiency. With this solution, FRESKIBO continues to lead the way towards a greener, more self-sufficient, and planet-friendly business model.
