The modified atmosphere packaging industry is experiencing significant trends that are transforming the industry, particularly in relation to extended shelf life. Consumer demand for fresh and minimally processed foods is driving manufacturers to adopt MAP solutions to increase product longevity while maintaining quality. The industry is developing innovative packaging materials, including high-barrier films and biodegradable options, to provide enhanced protection against oxygen, moisture, and light. These advancements are extending the shelf life of various perishable products. For instance, in January 2024, StePacPPC unveiled a new sustainable packaging solution that significantly enhances the shelf life of exotic and common mushrooms. This innovation utilizes modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), specifically tailored to address the unique challenges associated with mushroom preservation.
