The invention discloses a 1-methylcyclopropene substrate arrangement, which includes 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) coated onto and/or extruded into a moisture substrate to be used as protective packaging for fresh produce. 1- MCP is additionally liquid coated onto a substrate that could be either organic or inorganic in composition. The substrate is a polymeric membrane which is either recyclable or compostable or biodegradable. The protective packaging is a box liner, portion bag, or top sheet. The 1-methylcyclopropene is provided as a mixture to the coating process. The 1-methycyclopropene is incorporated into a standard packaging material already forming part of the packaging protocol for the produce.
