“There are multiple advantages that aseptic processing and packaging provide,” Bartee explains. “They include the cost savings and decreased environmental impact of our shelf-stable products not requiring refrigeration during distribution and storage [and] ‘cleaner’ labels, as the process makes the use of preservatives unnecessary. … Additionally, small aseptic pouches create 25 times less waste than traditional packaging, reducing disposal costs and impact.”
