Sustainable fish packaging: Solidus’ contribution to World Maritime Day

Thursday 26 September is World Maritime Day. This day is held annually to focus attention on the importance of shipping safety, maritime security and the marine environment.

At Solidus, we help improve the marine environment by providing sustainable packaging solutions. Our fully recyclable packaging helps reduce plastic pollution while ensuring safe and efficient transport of fresh fish.

About World Maritime Day

World Maritime Day was established by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) to highlight the importance of shipping safety, maritime security and the marine environment.

International shipping is responsible for transporting over 80% of global trade, including essential food supplies such as fish, making it the most efficient and cost-effective method of international transport for most goods. However, as global trade increases, so does the amount of plastic waste and other environmental challenges that directly affect our oceans. Promoting sustainable shipping and maritime development has therefore become one of IMO’s top priorities for the coming years.

Solidus’ commitment to sustainability

Solidus believes in sustainability as it is central to its key business. From natural and recyclable materials to an optimised production process: we are always striving to improve our efficiency and lessen the environmental impact of our actions and products. We recognise the role of packaging and its impact on the environment. That’s why all of our packaging solutions are fully recyclable. Solidus packaging is made from renewable materials that support circularity, combat climate change and reduce waste in the fibre-based packaging value chain. Fibres can be recycled up to 25 times before losing their strength properties.

Fish packaging

Our solid board is the ideal material for the packaging of fish. It is an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional polystyrene and plastic crates. Solid board is 100% recyclable and made from renewable resources.

Our solid board packaging is very reliable during transport. Its strength allows the boxes to be stacked securely, minimising the risk of damage. This makes it the ideal solution for fish packaging during sea transport, maximising logistical efficiency and ensuring products arrive safely.

Our fully recyclable packaging helps reduce plastic pollution while ensuring safe and efficient transport of fresh fish. By replacing traditional polystyrene fish boxes with our sustainable solid board packaging, we actively contribute to reducing plastic waste in the oceans, further supporting the goals of World Maritime Day.
