/
The startup Agreenet develops eco-friendly biomaterials and processes to protect fresh foods and reduce waste.
The innovative startup Agreenet has embarked on a six-month incubation journey at Bio4Dreams following the awarding of the Ennio Ongini prize, offered by the incubator during the final of BioInvestIT, a forum dedicated to the circular bioeconomy, held on May 14.
Agreenet and its mission in the food sector
Agreenet is an innovative startup specializing in the development of eco-friendly biomaterials and processes for protecting fresh foods, such as fruits and vegetables (and more), with the goal of reducing food waste.
They offer solutions that utilize bio-based, bioactive, and biodegradable materials to prolong food freshness, ensuring safety, thus reducing environmental impact and supporting a more sustainable and responsible food supply chain.
The startup’s efforts are recognized for their ability to integrate environmental responsibility and technological innovation, proposing a business model that meets the sustainability needs of the modern market.
PìFresc™: a freshness-saving label
Agreenet’s proposal is PìFresc™, a biodegradable label the size of a one euro coin, which is placed in fruit and vegetable packaging where it releases natural substances that reduce mold growth. PìFresc™ thus ensures longer freshness for products like citrus, grapes, cherries, strawberries, and berries, reducing the need for harmful chemical treatments.
“Less food waste for a fresher future”
