This innovation was developed by the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA). It is originated from challenges faced by the fresh fruit and vegetable industry and has been continuously tested in collaboration with the private sector. This bag is made from a special type of transparent plastic that does not fog up during storage, allowing consumers to clearly see the produce. Inside, it creates a balanced modified atmosphere, which helps preserve the freshness, nutritional value, and flavor of fruits and vegetables for 2–5 times longer compared to regular bags which required perforation for air circulation, which often leads to wilting due to water loss.

Active PAK™ can extend the shelf life of fresh vegetables by an additional 7–14 days, reducing spoilage rates during sale and storage for consumption. It also helps reduce vegetable loss by approximately 7–8%, leading to a tangible decrease in food waste and environmental impact.
