The fresh produce industry is moving rapidly toward compostable packaging. From growers and packhouses to supermarkets, farm shops and foodservice businesses, companies are under pressure to reduce plastic and improve sustainability. With compostable packaging costs steadily decreasing, switching away from conventional plastics is now more affordable and achievable than ever.
Compostable packaging is also expanding in the catering and hospitality sectors, where businesses want solutions that help cut plastic waste and present a stronger environmental message. Across all of these markets, Treetop Biopak provides one of the widest ranges of certified compostable packaging designed specifically for fresh produce.
Treetop’s compostable wicket bags and bags on a roll are popular with packers and retailers. Wicket bags run efficiently on automatic packing machines for apples, potatoes, pears, carrots and more. Bags on a roll are widely used in supermarkets, markets and farm shops for loose produce. Both options are durable, breathable and suitable for chilled environments, making them a strong replacement for conventional plastic.
Treetop’s compostable potato bag is designed with a unique light-blocking layer that helps extend shelf life and reduce greening. This is a strong example of compostable packaging that improves both sustainability and product quality.
For products requiring shrink wrapping, Treetop offers certified compostable shrink film that works on manual, semi-automatic and fully automated systems. It provides high clarity, good shrink performance and reliable sealing. Cucumbers, cabbages, broccoli and other brassicas benefit from shrink wrapping because it maintains moisture and extends shelf life — and Treetop’s compostable option achieves this without plastic pollution.
Treetop also supplies compostable cellulose netting, ideal for produce that needs airflow such as onions, citrus, peppers and mini potatoes. Made from renewable materials, it offers a natural look and performs well on both high-volume and small packing lines.
Compostable flow wrap film is available for both vertical and horizontal flow wrapping machines. It delivers strong seals and attractive presentation for herbs, carrots, cucumbers, leafy products, multipacks and a wide variety of fresh produce. This film allows businesses to reduce plastic use while maintaining reliable, efficient packing operations.
For retailers that manually wrap trays of produce, Treetop’s compostable cling film provides a clear, easy-to-use and fully compostable alternative. It is ideal for farm shops, greengrocers and supermarkets. A machine-compatible version is currently in development.
Compostable fresh produce stickers
Treetop completes the sustainable packaging system with compostable fruit stickers suitable for apples, pears, citrus fruit, avocados and more. These stickers break down naturally in composting environments and help eliminate plastic contamination from labels.
