Food Fresh Liners

Currently, in the U.S., consumers throw out 40-50 percent of the produce they purchase in stores. Food Fresh Liners are the first nonwoven that can absorb the moisture that accumulates in the sealed package of produce and keeps the product from wilting and spoiling, therefore staying fresher for a longer period of time.
