How it Works
Freshness Sealed & Delivered with Tectrol®
How we transform CO₂ science into longer shelf life, higher profit, and a better tomorrow.
The Science Behind Tectrol®
Controlled Atmosphere Made Simple.
Tectrol® transforms a basic principle of plant physiology into a protective cocoon. By balancing carbon‑dioxide and oxygen inside every liner, we slow the berry’s natural aging clock.
High‑CO₂ slows berry respiration & mold
High‑CO₂ slows berry respiration & mold
Beneath every sealed liner, CO₂ rises to about 10%, suppressing Botrytis spores and slowing the berries’ natural “breathing” rate. Less respiration means firmer texture, reduced moisture loss, and visibly fewer soft spots by the time pallets hit the dock.
Optimal O₂ prevents off‑flavors

Tectrol® liners hold just enough oxygen (≈ 5 %) to keep berry cells healthy without triggering anaerobic, “carbonic” off‑flavors. That sweet‑spot gas ratio keeps taste bright even after multi‑day hauls.
Results validated in peer‑reviewed studies

From USDA research to a 2025 UC Davis comparison, independent trials consistently show 3–7 % lower decay and up to 41 % fewer retailer claims when loads ship under Tectrol® versus open cooling.
The Tectrol® Service Network
Sealed in Freshness, Supported Every Mile
From the field cooler to the store shelf, Tectrol® follows a straightforward, technician‑backed routine that protects every pallet without slowing your dock.
Sealed
Sealed at Origin
Crew applies liner; CO₂ injected (900 pallets/hr).
Shipped
CO₂ Hold in Transit
Liner maintains 10 % CO₂; temp monitored.
Verified
Seal Verified upon Arrival
Technician audits seal & atmosphere; data logged.
Our regional technicians back every load with 12‑hour feedback loops and online reports—so claims get resolved before they cost you.
Save with Tectrol®
Substantial Savings For Your Bottom Line AND the Planet
Every pallet saved keeps berries out of landfills and carbon out of the atmosphere. Here’s how Tectrol® turns shrink reduction into profit—and planetary good.
Category Revenue Lift
Category Revenue Lift
Extended shelf life sells more units and reduces markdowns, generating up to 7 % additional gross sales reported by major U.S. retailers.
Fewer Defects and Claims
Fewer Defects and Claims
Sealed liners arrive firm and bright, delivering an average 11 % drop in visible defects and pushing retailer claims below one percent—saving fees and protecting relationships.
Reduced Food Waste
Reduced Food Waste
Every percentage point of shrink eliminated diverts thousands of pounds of edible fruit from landfill, cutting carbon impact while freeing up labor otherwise spent on culling.
Better for your profit potential and the planet
