… A Global problem getting out of hand!!
A new protective layer that prevents food waste
A better, stronger, and superior natural protective layer that:
increases shelf life by 2-3x - reduces current wastage by 1/3rd
- increases food security.
We are borrowing from the very same nature with the advancements in science with our all-natural protective layer that mimicks a very simple law of nature;
‘It keeps the moisture in and oxygen out’
Thereby slowing down the spoiling process of fruit and veggies that leads to waste.
