A good example of this is with blueberries which are a premium fruit that consumers expect to be fresh, firm, and full of flavour. However, maintaining quality from harvest to retail can be challenging due to the natural ripening process. That’s where the RYPEN® Leaf comes in – a simple, effective solution for ethylene management that helps extend blueberry shelf life and reduce food waste.

Watch the RYPEN® Leaf in Action
We’ve created a short video to show how simple it is to integrate the RYPEN® Leaf into your blueberry packing process. From retail-ready packs to bulk formats, see how this small innovation makes a big difference.

Why the RYPEN® Leaf is ideal retail packed fresh produce
The RYPEN® Leaf actively captures and manages ethylene inside the retail packs, slowing down the ripening process and preserving berry quality for longer.

The RYPEN® Leaf is designed for flexibility and ease of use:
Retail-ready packs: Simply place the RYPEN® Leaf amongst the clamshells, where it will be able to protect the fruit during storage and transport.
Bulk packed blueberries: For larger cartons or trays, position the RYPEN® Leaf on top of the berries or between layers to ensure consistent ethylene control across the entire pack.
