New: Paddy Straw trays

03 februari 2025

Partnership Bio4pack & Argos Packaging with Paddy Straw

With our long-term vision, we focus on sustainable and innovative packaging. To provide the fruit and vegetable sector with innovative packaging solutions, we are now officially partnering with Bio4Pack and their Paddy Straw trays. This collaboration perfectly aligns with our belief that sustainable innovation goes beyond just the product. With our new packaging line, made from by-products of rice plantations, we not only offer environmental benefits but also contribute to social progress.



Sustainability as a Core Value

The paddy straw trays are more than just packaging. They directly contribute to a more sustainable world by using a renewable resource: rice waste that would otherwise be burned. Avoiding this burning reduces the emission of harmful substances and significantly lowers CO2 emissions. Additionally, reducing waste burning helps improve air quality and protect groundwater levels, which is crucial for areas with limited water resources.



CO2 Savings and Environmental Benefits

The use of paddy straw results in a substantial reduction of the ecological footprint. Not only are natural resources conserved, but the production processes of these packages are also designed to minimize CO2 emissions as much as possible. This makes this packaging a sustainable choice that actively contributes to the fight against climate change.

In Line with PPWR Regulations

This packaging line is fully aligned with the new European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). This regulation aims to reduce plastic packaging waste, increase reuse and recycling, and shift towards circular economy principles. Our paddy straw trays can be disposed of with paper and are thus recyclable.



Social Involvement

In addition to environmental benefits, our packaging line also offers social advantages. By providing rice farmers in Asia, particularly in Malaysia, with a new source of income and creating jobs in the transport and production sectors, we contribute to economic development and a better standard of living in the region. This makes our packaging an example of how sustainability can go hand in hand with social progress.

At Argos, we understand that every step towards sustainability makes a difference. With our paddy straw trays, we are committed to a future where packaging made from renewable resources not only protects the environment but also makes a positive contribution to people and communities worldwide.
