Keep produce fresh for longer, naturally

FreshLab is a natural material that sits next to your fruit and vegetables. It absorbs excess moisture, reduces ethylene and acts against spoilage bacteria and mold, from the home fridge to the cold room.

The problem

Why fresh food spoils

Moisture

Excess moisture leads to mold.

Oxygen exposure

Oxygen leads to oxidation and bacterial growth.

Ethylene gas

Ethylene speeds up ripening and spoilage.

1.05 bn t
of food wasted in 2022, 60% of it in households

Why FreshLab is different

One material, every cause

Existing products each address only one cause. FreshLab is designed to address all three at once, plus a natural sanitizing action against bacteria and mold.

Simple Process

How It Works

See the full process →
01

Place

Place a FreshLab unit in your fridge, crate or cold room.

02

Activate

When produce releases moisture, FreshLab's dormant microorganism is activated and acts on the bacteria that cause spoilage, while the material absorbs excess moisture and reduces ethylene.

03

Protect

Observe the stored product and replace the consumable on the specified cycle. Results vary by food and conditions.

Built for pallets. Sized for your fridge.
