3.1. Packaging for fruits and vegetables
The technology described above (flat or molded stock from various wood or tree waste) was used as the key
element to design three types of packaging for fruits and vegetables. The first crate design (A) uses such flat stock
and a biodegradable transparent film that is glued by heat on both its surfaces. The film keeps the elements together
at all times [4]. The flat plate is pre-scored and transported flat to the packaging station. Each plate is folded, fairly
easily and produces the desired three dimensional form of the final packaging , see Fig.2.
