AGREENET

Agreenet is a startup focused on designing active, biodegradable biomaterials for fresh food protection and preservation. The company’s mission is to combat food waste and improve food safety through the use of active biopolymers.

Products and Solutions

Agreenet’s flagship product is PìFresc®, a smart device based on biopolymers and active plant-derived extracts. PìFresc® is suitable and safe for food, easy to use and ready to use. Its operation involves placing it inside the package, where it releases natural ingredients that inhibit mold growth, thus prolonging the freshness of products.

PìFresc® is ideal for a variety of fresh fruits, including oranges, berries, lemons, cherries, limes, table grapes and strawberries. The use of this product makes it possible to increase earnings, distribute fresher produce, reduce lost sales, and adopt an innovative and eco-friendly solution without the need for investment in machinery.

Environmental and Social Impact

Agreenet strives to create a positive environmental and social impact by offering bioactive materials that increase the shelf life of fresh food products, thus contributing to the reduction of food waste and losses. For example, the analysis for a distributor handling 5,000 tons of citrus per year with losses due to spoilage of 10% showed a 60% reduction in food waste, 150 tons per year of CO₂ not emitted into the environment due to the saved food, an increase of more than 10 days in the shelf-life of fresh produce, a saving of 3.7 million liters of water per year, and an increase in sales of €250,000.

Team

Agreenet’s team consists of professionals with experience in materials science and the development of innovative and functional polymers. The company is actively involved in research and development activities to design new solutions in the field of biomaterials for food preservation.
