Addressing food spoilage challenges with renewable materials and natural agents. Reduce waste, extend freshness, and support global environmental standards. Food spoilage affects retailers, caterers, and distributors by causing significant waste and financial losses. Produce like strawberries can wilt in days, while meats oxidize quickly, leading to returns and reduced profits.
Starch-based active packaging provides an effective, eco-friendly alternative that extends freshness and supports sustainable practices.
Reduction in spoilage losses
Shelf life for proteins
Core Technology: Starch Blends
Sourced from renewable crops like corn or potatoes, our thermoplastic starch (TPS) creates a versatile, antimicrobial barrier.
Base Matrix
TPS blended with PLA for durability and PBAT for pliability, creating a versatile biodegradable film.
Natural Agents
Infused with cinnamon essential oil, grape seed, and clove extracts to combat bacteria and oxidation.
Active Defense
Gradual release of compounds to inhibit E. coli and S. aureus without artificial additives.

Demonstrated Shelf-Life Improvements
| Food Category | Standard Shelf Life | Active Packaging | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meats (Beef/Chicken) | 7 Days | 14 Days | +100% |
| Fresh Berries/Strawberries | 3-5 Days | 8-15 Days | +5-10 Days |
| Cherry Tomatoes | 10 Days | 15-20 Days | +50% |
| Processed (Peanut Butter) | 180 Days | 300+ Days | Extended Stability |
Typical results show a 20–50% drop in spoilage losses across all supply chain stages.
Cinnamon-Infused Protection
A study on fresh produce packaging utilized a TPS/PLA/PBAT film with cinnamon oil to preserve grapes. The results showed a full additional week of freshness compared to standard wraps. This helped suppliers cut waste and meet demands for natural preservation.
Seamless Integration
Transitioning to sustainable packaging shouldn't be complex. Starch's affordability lowers formulation costs by 20–40% versus synthetic options. Our materials work seamlessly with existing equipment for blown films or extrusion.
