When we talk about wasting less food, it's easy to focus on actions like using up leftovers, checking expiration dates, or finding a recipe to use up food that's been sitting in the fridge for days. But at Peris, we've long believed that this can start a little earlier: with the purchasing decision, and for […]
At Peris, we have long been committed to sustainability and reducing food waste. For this reason, we are collaborating with the Instituto de Agroquímica y Tecnología de Alimentos (IATA-CSIC) in a research project that seeks to extend the shelf life of our fresh-cut convenience fruit through new sustainable antimicrobial packaging.

In 2022, Spaniards will spend 105 billion euros on food purchases, 9.1% more than the previous year, a record, according to […]
Efficiency. It’s a really nice word, don’t you think? E-FI-CIEN-CIA. We love it, especially as applied to sustainability. At Peris we have two production plants, one for fresh fruit and vegetables (whole fruit and vegetables) and the other for fresh fruit and vegetables (cut fruit and vegetables, ready to eat).
