In what ways do RPCs help minimize food waste and extend shelf life?

Reusable plastic containers (RPCs) minimize food waste and extend shelf life in three main ways:
1) Ventilation: They are designed with optimal airflow to keep produce fresh and prevent spoilage.
2) Durability: The sturdy plastic construction protects produce from being crushed or bruised, which is a leading cause of food waste in transit.
3) Labor/Retail Ready: Their design allows them to go directly from the distribution center to the store shelf, reducing the need for extra handling and repacking. This “straight-to-shelf” model minimizes physical damage and saves time and labor.
