Flour packaging - why does the choice matter?
Why you should pay attention to flour packaging?
In a world full of diverse food products, packaging plays a key role. Proper packaging not only protects the product, but also affects its durability and quality. Especially for flour, which is a fragile product and prone to contamination, choosing the right packaging is of paramount importance.
But what kind of packaging is best? Is paper really greener than plastic? The answer to this question may surprise you.
Flour doesn't like moisture - Why packaging is key?
Flour, like many other free-flowing products, does not tolerate moisture or high temperatures. Both of these factors can lead to microbial growth and significantly shorten the shelf life of flour. Therefore, it is important to store flour in the right conditions - preferably at a temperature of about 8-10°C. If you buy flour in a paper package, it is a good idea to transfer it to an airtight container at home to avoid the risk of contamination.
Our brand Moncana relies on polypropylene packaging, which not only protects the flour from moisture, but also provides a barrier against external environmental factors, prolonging its freshness.
Paper versus plastic - Which is greener?
At first glance, paper packaging seems more environmentally friendly. However, on deeper analysis, it turns out that paper production may have a greater environmental impact than plastic. Paper production pollutes water 50% more than plastic production, and it takes four times as much energy and three times as much water to make one paper bag as a plastic bag.
Paper recycling - Is it as eco-friendly as we think??
Although paper decomposes easily, recycling it requires significant energy input. Processing 1 kg of paper consumes 90% more energy than recycling plastic, and interestingly, reprocessing paper uses more resources than producing new paper. For this reason, when choosing packaging, consider plastic alternatives that, if properly segregated, can be reused many times over.
Advantages of polypropylene packaging
The polypropylene packaging we use at Moncana has numerous advantages:
Barriers
These packages are impervious to moisture, which protects the flour from the effects of moisture. As a result, the product stays fresh for longer and its quality remains at the highest level.
Functionality
Many of our packages are equipped with zippers, allowing for multiple closures and longer storage of loose products, such as flours and oatmeal.
Protection against microorganisms
Thanks to the airtight packaging, our products are fully protected during transport, storage and storage at home. This guarantees their safety and quality.
Organic product
All polypropylene packaging is fully recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly solution. By choosing Moncana products, you not only take care of your health, but also the planet.
Choice of packaging is a concern for the environment
In conclusion, proper packaging of flour is crucial both to preserve the quality of the product and to protect the environment. At Moncana, we strive to use solutions that are not only functional, but also planet-friendly.
