# 2022 Bolsolution |
|
Disposable food packaging is damaging the environment and a third of food produced decomposes and is discarded.
Bolsolution tackles both of these problems with an innovative package designed for storing food. The product is a mixture of natural biopolymers with mechanical properties similar to low-density synthetic polythene but is biodegradable and compostable. Natural antimicrobial compounds can be added to the material to extend the food shelf-life.
I am a Biochemical Engineer who is currently in her third year of a Ph.D. in Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering. Since my undergraduate studies, I have been interested in researching new ecological materials to contribute to more sustainable solutions for society. I am the technical leader for Bolsolution specializing in scientific technological processes, microbiology, and food shelf-life analysis. I am currently being mentored by Babson College.more
