Cut bread waste and packaging to shrink emissions

As bread waste rots in landfills, it produces greenhouse gases (GHGs). Also, bread is usually sold wrapped in plastic that emits GHGs at every stage of its lifecycle and often ends up in our oceans. Less bread produced means less wrapping. So keeping bread soft, elastic and moist for longer also helps to reduce plastic-related emissions and pollution.

Fresher for longer

Consumers prefer soft, moist bread, so it’s not surprising that dryness is a top reason for throwing bread out. The result is that bread often tops the list of avoidable food waste. Our biosolutions help reduce this waste by ensuring moistness during shelf life.
