Apeel is a California-based company that is fighting the $2.6 trillion global food waste crisis by using advances in materials science to prevent waste in the first place – a sustainable approach to the world’s growing and urgent food demands that will transform the world’s food supply chain by eliminating the need for the cold chain. The company’s breakthrough technology doubles the lifespan of harvested fruits and vegetables without refrigeration, which dramatically reduces food waste, preserves natural resources, and helps the global food system operate more harmoniously with nature. Apeel was founded in 2012.
