Eco-friendly Cardboard Box
As part of Hiddenfjord’s ongoing efforts to reduce our carbon footprint, we have replaced our polystyrene (EPS) boxes with recyclable cardboard boxes, called EcoFishBox.
Unchanged Quality
The corrugated and waxed cardboard box maintains the uncompromised quality, freshness and shelf life of our salmon.
Our cold chain management, using sea freight and truck transport, secures optimal product preservation through the entire journey, all the way from the Faroe Islands to you.
Environmental Impact
By transitioning to cardboard, Hiddenfjord has achieved a 24% reduction in CO₂ emissions for packaging production, transportation to New York and disposal of packaging, as supported by data¹.
Customers Want Eco-friendly Boxes
In a 2022 survey², nearly 500 chefs and purchasing decision makers across the USA were asked if they would switch salmon suppliers to avoid EPS packaging and instead receive it in a more environmentally friendly recyclable cardboard box.
73% of respondents answered ‘yes’.
Recycling
The EcoFishBox can be recycled as normal corrugated cardboard. The recycling process varies depending on location. If in doubt, please check with your local recycling authorities or contact your Hiddenfjord sales representative for more information.
Product Specification
The EcoFishBox measures 31.3 (length) x 15.6 (width) x 7 (height) inches. It is slightly shorter than an EPS box, but its net weight is the same. It holds the same amount of salmon as an EPS box.
Storage
Optimal storage conditions are integral to guaranteeing quality, freshness, and shelf life. Please store the EcoFishBox at 32-36° F.
Certifications
Stora Enso, the company that produces the cardboard box, is certified by ISO, FSSC, FSC and PEFC. Contact your Hiddenfjord sales representative for certifications.
