Hort Connections Wrap-Up

What a week we have had exhibiting at Hort Connections in Brisbane.

It’s wonderful to be back reconnecting with our local fruit, vegetable and floral producers. Our industries adaption and growth post-pandemic in the Australasian region was inspiring to see.

In response to the horticultural markets desire to make the change to more sustainable packaging, we displayed a range of reusable fresh produce packaging concepts. All of our products on show were made in Victoria, from design, to material manufacturing, right the way through to printing; saving time, energy, resources and most importantly, our environment.

Businesses are making the change to reusable Corflute® packaging solutions because they are both environmentally and economically more sustainable than single use cardboard boxes used in transportation and delivery.

Featured products on our Corex stand:

  • Fresh produce boxes made from 100% recyclable Corflute®
  • Cherry boxes
  • Grape boxes
  • Corn boxes
  • Bean boxes
  • Returnable retail to customer delivery boxes
  • Seafood boxes
  • Warehouse to retail reusable tote boxes
  • Bulk containers
  • Tree gaurds
  • and our beautiful reusable succulent packaging made from Kerbeco® – our polypropylene sheet made from kerbside waste.
