Ripely

Every year 30-40% of all food production in the US and worldwide is wasted, resulting in losses of $161 billion domestically and over $1 trillion globally. This is due to the short shelf life of most fresh foods, including produce and meats. Ripely solves this problem by providing a 100% or more increase in the shelf life of fresh food, and the best part is, we use food to save food. We put a new spin on the timeless practices of brewing beer and bread making to produce an easy-to-apply spray that can be applied to food to form an invisible, odorless, tasteless, and completely edible protective barrier. As an added bonus, our product is 100% animal-free and contains no artificial ingredients. The time is ripe to fight food waste and to keep more bellies full around the world.
