Water management within horticulture and agriculture is an important issue in an increasingly water scarce world. SAF™ superabsorbent technology can be used in various applications to aid the management of this precious resource, even in areas of low availability.
Free exudates, such as meat juices, are one of the main problems within the primary packaging of fresh produce. SAF™ superabsorbent fibre is regulatory listed for use as an absorbent in food packaging and is already the basis for a portfolio of absorbent food pads that effectively lock away such liquids within their core.
