Ryp Labs is a food and crop protection company developing and commercializing biomimicry solutions to combat global food waste, sustainably and safely. Their food-safe sticker, StixFresh, can extend the shelf life of fresh produce by up to two weeks, by simply peeling and applying the sticker to the produce. The sachets and sheets formats, Shelf Defense, can be placed in clamshells and other container formats to protect smaller fruits such as berries and grapes from premature rotting. These solutions can be used at any point along the produce supply chain including post-harvest handling, storage, processing, packaging, distribution, retail and the end-consumer stage.
