ChitoFresh demonstrates high feasibility due to its innovative use of readily available and sustainable materials, alignment with global sustainability goals, and strong market demand for solutions to food waste and environmental challenges. Our product leverages chitosan, a biopolymer derived from shrimp shell waste, as its key ingredient, transforming an industry byproduct into a valuable resource. The scalability of chitosan production ensures a steady supply of raw materials, while its natural antimicrobial properties make ChitoFresh a scientifically validated solution for extending produce shelf life by 3–7 days.

​

Our rigorous testing has validated the effectiveness of ChitoFresh. Controlled experiments with bananas demonstrated a 40% reduction in spoilage, proving its potential to significantly decrease food waste. ChitoFresh is also edible, non-GMO, and environmentally friendly, meeting consumer and regulatory demands for safety and sustainability. Additionally, our product aligns with the rising global emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions linked to food waste.

​

The cost-effectiveness of ChitoFresh enhances its feasibility. By repurposing shrimp shell waste, we minimize production costs while addressing the problem of waste from another industry. This circular economy approach appeals to stakeholders across the food supply chain, including farmers, distributors, and retailers, who benefit from reduced spoilage and increased profitability.
