Food Waste: A Looming Challenge 🗑️

Nearly one-third of the food produced globally is lost or wasted each year, representing a staggering $1 trillion and enough to feed billions. This problem contributes significantly to climate change and disrupts food security. Mori is revolutionizing food preservation with a natural, game-changing approach.

Nature's Answer to Food Waste 🌱

Mori utilizes a breakthrough technology – a silk protein coating derived from Bombyx mori silkworms. This edible, tasteless barrier slows down dehydration, oxidation, and microbial growth, extending food shelf life significantly.

More Than Just Freshness 🚯

Mori's solution goes beyond keeping food fresher. It reduces the reliance on single-use plastics, waxes, and harmful chemicals traditionally used in food preservation. This not only benefits the environment but also promotes healthier food systems and reduces reliance on non-biodegradable packaging.

Impact Across the Food Chain 🧑‍🌾

Mori's technology is versatile and can be applied to all kinds of food, from fruits and vegetables to meat and seafood, at any stage – from farm to shelf. This empowers producers, retailers, and consumers to combat food waste at every level.
