Apeel featured as Sustainability and Climate Change Disruptor in OZY

“Nothing good lasts forever — especially good, but perishable food. Enter Apeel Sciences, which is on a quest to improve the shelf life of avocados and other fruits and vegetables in retail chains. Aided by a $100,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the California-based startup launched in 2012 with the aim of cutting down on global food waste and improving sustainability. Its use of plant materials to fabricate the edible layer used in coating food items replicates a natural biodefense system.”
