Innovate UK funded technology that extends shelf-life
Through vigorous testing, we have developed a unique technology which adheres to packaging surfaces, providing enhanced shelf-life functionality. Our coating forms covalent bonds with various packaging materials, establishing a long-lasting layer that withstands time and exposure. We’ve ensured our technology complies with all relevant food contact material regulations, ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety not only met, but exceeded.
Combat food degradation
The surface created by our innovative antimicrobial coating inhibits the adherence of microorganisms, which slows down their proliferation.
The result? A significant reduction in the speed of food degradation and an extension of shelf life.
The potency of our technology is accentuated by its adaptability. It boasts unique properties, enabling it to affix effectively to a variety of packaging materials. Our antimicrobial coating is compatible with various materials, including rigid/flexible fibre cartons, plastic punnets, and various films, enabling produce to stay fresher for longer, with an increased shelf-life.
Our shelf-life extension methods offer diverse environmental gains. We save critical resources and lessen intensive farming impacts by keeping food fresh longer. The extended lifespan optimises the supply chain, reducing transport emissions and energy used in storage. Additionally, we minimise packaging waste and lessen methane emissions from food decay in landfills, aligning with global climate action goals.
