In a world where food waste and environmental pollution are among the most pressing problems, vacuum sealing offers an impressive solution. Did you know that, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), around 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted every year? By effectively vacuum sealing, we can not only extend the shelf life of our food, but also actively contribute to reducing this alarming number.
Extended shelf life thanks to vacuum technology
Vacuum packaging is much more than just a trend. It allows fresh foods such as meat and vegetables to be kept in the refrigerator typically up to 5 times longer than unpackaged products. In the freezer, the shelf life of vacuum-packed foods can even be extended to several years, compared to around 6 months for unpackaged goods. This means less spoilage, less shopping stress and more enjoyment of fresh food.
Slows down oxidation, preserves nutrients
The main cause of food spoilage is oxidation, which occurs when food comes into contact with oxygen. In fact, 60-80% of food spoilage is caused by oxygen. By vacuum sealing, we significantly reduce this contact. Studies show that vacuum-packed fruits and vegetables can retain up to 30% more vitamins and nutrients after two weeks of storage. This way, not only the taste but also the health benefits of your food are preserved.
Environmental benefits through innovative vacuum solutions
This is where our EcoSeal Pro comes in. Unlike traditional vacuum sealers that seal plastic bags, the EcoSeal Pro offers the ability to vacuum seal jars like our VacuJars as many times as you like. This system maximizes the environmental benefits of vacuum sealing as it completely eliminates the need for single-use plastic. A household that uses reusable vacuum sealing solutions like the EcoSeal Pro can use up to 50% less single-use packaging. Just imagine the positive impact on our environment if more households take this step!
Conclusion: A small step with a big impact
By vacuum sealing, we make a decisive contribution to reducing food waste and protecting the environment. With innovative products such as the EcoSeal Pro, this process becomes even more sustainable and easier. So why not take the step today and become part of the solution? Your food, your wallet and, above all, our environment will thank you.
