Goals for 2023: take care of the planet, starting at home with the fight against waste!

2023 is closer than ever! And now it's time to review our achievements, celebrate achievements, assess failures and finally set goals for the coming year. 

Taking care of the planet means taking care of each one of us, starting with simple tasks in our day-to-day life. This is one of Alpfilm's main goals, as it is directly connected with financial savings and the reuse of food, through the fight against waste. 

According to FGV, Brazil throws away 42 kilos of food per year. And that number refers to each person. That is, per family, there are, on average, 128 kilos of food. This practice generates social, economic and environmental impacts. In addition, it affects the pocket of Brazilians. Therefore, the ideal is to preserve food and know how to use it to create new dishes and guarantee the next meals. 

Therefore, we spare no effort to maintain the quality of our products and offer a stretchable plastic film that enhances the shelf life of food. 

But, do you know how the stretchable plastic film Alpfilm Protect can help you with this task? Come find out! 

Some storage care is important to extend the shelf life of food and help save money. One of the alternatives is to use Alpfilm Protect plastic film to wrap different foods, including fruits and vegetables, for example, which allows them to be preserved for longer than with common plastic film, without bactericidal protection.

Roasted, boiled and fried foods can go in the freezer. However, the ideal is to refrigerate leftovers in individual portions. Also, dividing food into small amounts prevents leftovers from having to be refrozen after preparing a meal.

Do not forget to choose the correct containers, as this influences the shelf life of the products. You can use, for example, Alpfilm Ziplock bags, as they prevent air from entering and thus prevent fungal and bacterial contamination. In the case of containers, cover tightly or cover with Alpfilm Protect plastic film.

And more: write down the expiry date to consume everything in good condition. Just use our new ZipLock bag, which offers a strategically designed space for quick notes, avoiding the use of labels. 

Another tip is that you don't have to wait for the food to cool down to take it to the freezer. In fact, this can even reduce consumption time because, at room temperature, it is more exposed to contamination by fungi and bacteria. Therefore, do not wait more than two hours to put the dish in the freezer.
