Peelon is a biodegradable packaging solution that can triple the shelf life of fresh produce, addressing the issues of food waste and plastic pollution in the fresh produce supply chain. Our proprietary blend of natural materials creates a microclimate around the produce, preserving its freshness and quality for longer. This reduces food waste and the need for frequent transportation and storage, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint. Peelon is also completely biodegradable and compostable, addressing the problem of plastic pollution.
