About
Addressing the significant post-harvest losses faced by smallholder farmers and vendors, particularly in developing countries, these biodegradable sachets, stickers, and bags, extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables by inhibiting the enzymes responsible for spoilage. This innovative, eco-friendly solution reduces reliance on refrigeration and harmful chemicals, by using cutting-edge nanotechnology to preserve produce for up to 60 days. Freza’s affordable, biodegradable products help farmers reduce waste, increase income, and support environmental sustainability by lowering plastic use and methane emissions from rotting produce
