Cutting Down on Waste with Compostable Pads
Eco pads are 100% plastic-free and utilise the Tensei second harvest technology. They are made from sustainable straw crop residues, including seeds, skins, and fibre crops after processing, along with perennial grasses and annual fibre crops. Certified to EU standard UNIU 11743:2019.
In the UK alone, over 5.3 billion fruit pads end up in landfills each year, which is enough waste to cover almost half a million tennis courts.

Eco ProtectionThe pads are designed with an embossed surface that cushions the fruit and minimises spoilage, and reduces product loss and waste. With 100% surface absorbency for fungal water droplets, the pads hold approximately 500ml distilled water per square metre with no need for perforations.

Pads & RollsThe Eco Fruit Pad is available in pads and rolls in black-blue, allowing for ease of IR recycling recognition. The pads and rolls are cushioned and are made from pure cellulose, ensuring they are 100% plastic-free. They are certified to EU standard UNI 11743:2019, supported by CPI and accepted in UK recycling systems.

Cutting WasteAs well as making use of a valuable waste product, the development of the Eco pads has created a potential new source of income for farmers. This innovative approach not only addresses packaging waste but also helps address food waste.
