Food Waste-Reducing Initiatives

What can I do?

Many brands in the food industry are looking for healthy and safe ways to increase shelf life so that their products can stay fresher for longer. This is of the utmost importance in today's day and age when so much food waste is produced daily in the United States alone while families experience food insecurity.

Apeel is a cutting-edge brand that has set its sights on providing a viable solution for the problem. The company uses the materials that exist in the peels, seeds, and pulp of all fruits and vegetables in order to increase shelf life. This process creates a "protective extra peel that deals moisture in and keeps oxygen out." As a result, consumers may enjoy produce that stays fresh and nutritious for longer.
