Reduce food waste of fruit at home with vacuum packaging

What is food waste and how does it affect us?

Food waste is a big problem in our households today. According to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, around 1.3 million tonnes of food is thrown away in Sweden every year, and a significant part of this is fruit and vegetables. By using vacuum packaging, we can extend the shelf life of fruit and reduce food waste significantly.

Statistics on food waste from fruit in households

According to a report from the Swedish Food Agency, Swedish households throw away up to 23% of the fruit and vegetables they buy. This means that a large part of the vitamins and nutrients that the fruit contains is wasted.

Advantages of vacuum food boxes for fruit

Vacuum food boxes can extend the shelf life of fruit by eliminating oxygen, which slows down the decomposition process. Here are some examples of how long different fruits can stay fresh with vacuum packaging compared to without:

Apples: Up to 2 weeks longer
Bananas: Up to 1 week longer
Carry: Up to 1 week longer
Citrus: Up to 3 weeks longer

Everyday examples of how vacuum food boxes keep fruit fresh & reduce food waste

Morning routines: By preparing vacuum-packed portions of fruit for the week, you can easily bring fresh fruit for breakfast or snacks every day for both you and the kids. This reduces the risk of the fruit being forgotten and overripe in the fruit bowl.
School lunches: Pack lunch boxes with vacuum packed pieces of fruit. This ensures that the fruit stays fresh and appetizing until it's time to eat.
Workdays: Prepare vacuum-packed portions of fruit to take to work. This way, you always have a healthy and fresh option at hand, reducing the temptation to buy less healthy snacks.
Weekend Trips: When planning a trip or picnic, pack with vacuum-packed fruit. It stays fresh longer and you don't have to throw away overripe fruit when you get home.

Tips for using vacuum lunch boxes effectively

Wash and dry the fruit thoroughly before packing to prevent moisture from causing mold.
Cut the fruit into pieces that are easy to eat, making it more likely that you will eat them.
Label the food boxes with the date so you know when they were packed and can use them in the correct order.

By using vacuum lunch boxes, you can drastically reduce food waste in your household, eat fresh fruit every day and contribute to a more sustainable future. Vacuum packaging is a simple and effective way to extend the shelf life of fruit, which not only saves money but also makes it easier to live healthy.
