Container for respiring produce

Use of a packaging material in the construction of a container for respiring produce, wherein the packaging material consists of a polyether-ester block copolymer or a blend of polyether-ester block copolymers and which packaging material has all of the following properties:

• a) permeability for oxygen is at least 100 cc.rnm/rn2.day.atm at 10° C.
• b) permeability for carbon dioxide is at least 750 cc.mm/m2.day.atm at 10° C.
• c) perm selectivity of carbon dioxide to oxygen is at least 12
• d) water vapour transmission is at least 1 g.mm/m2.day at 10° C. and 85% RH and
• e) wherein the dimensions of the packaging material are chosen so as to allow oxygen to enter into the container at a rate lower than or equal to 90% of the respiration rate of the produce

Container for respiring produce made from a packaging material consisting of a polyether-ester block copolymer or a blend of polyether-ester block copolymers and which packaging material has all of the following properties:

• a) permeability for oxygen is at least 40 cc.mm/m2.day.atm at 10° C.
• b) permeability for carbon dioxide is at least 600 cc.mm/m2.day.atm at 10° C.
• c) perm selectivity of carbon dioxide to oxygen is at least 10
• d) water vapour transmission is at least 0.5 g.mm/m2.day at 10° C. and 85% RH and
• e) wherein the dimensions of the packaging material are chosen so as to allow oxygen to enter into the container at a rate lower than 1 10% of the respiration rate of the produce
