IMPROVEMENTS

1. Changed the shape of the tray to easily handle the product in/out of a carton

2. Added a wet strength resin and longer fibres to our was added to the Mk4 trays to improve the quality and to improve the performance in humid conditions (Wet strength is of a organic composition and it is 100% biodegradable)

3. The product cure with age and the bonding between the fibres gets stronger and the product can be used after extensive storage.

Trials and tests (ExperiCo)

– In 2017 HSA introduced the new Aporo tray and we asked (Experico) a 3rd party to do intensive tests and trials on our new improved Mk4 tray

– Cooling - The Aporo tray is 7% better than other trays within the market. (energy saving)

– Lifting In all tests the Aporo tray performed better than all the other trays. (In cases with extreme free water and relative humidity

– Water absorption and protection from decay: Again new pulp tray performed better than other trays within the market.

– Bruising – No significant difference between the tested trays [Author, Presentation name]11
