HIGH-PRESSURE PROCESSING
PACKAGING STICKING POINT
The cost outlay to purchase an HPP machine - which
can top $3 million - can be partially offset by tolling
centers, which provide pay-per-use levels of HPP service to
companies without in-house equipment. The technology,
however, does face a fundamental conundrum: While
products that use it retain more natural nutrients and
flavors, they require packaging flexible enough to withstand
compression, elastic enough to regain its shape and
waterproof to withstand submersion.
That translates to plastic, specifically polyethylene
terephthalate (PET), a clear, durable medium that
is the most recycled plastic in the U.S., according to
americanbeverage.org. With growing environmental
concern and increasing regulations attached to that
material, HPP companies are casting about for alternatives.
" HPP is traditionally thought of, especially on the juice
side, as a higher-end product, " Drenning said. " The coldpressed
juices are not the cheapest option that's out there.
It's because they're better for you and it's more direct from
the farm or the orchard. That customer profile also wants to
be more sustainable if they can. "
Drenning has been keeping tabs on plant-based PET
advances, while Raghubeer has had discussions with
companies such as BASF and DuPont about biodegradable
