Food Waste Management – Guidry International

Did You Know?

Over 30% of produce harvested is never consumed.

We work with technology firms that design & develop new solutions to reduce waste by improving the efficiency of the fresh produce supply chain.

How our technology solution works:

Different crops have entirely different respiration rates and ethylene production levels. As a result, each customized solution is designed for that specific crop. However, the form factor of the product remains the same, which allows for flexible application by any customer regardless of the product’s formula. The active ingredient released from the proprietary clamshell liner is an organic anti-fungal vapor that prevents mold and decay. For crops like avocados and apples, the active ingredients we use neutralizes the effects of ethylene, a hormone that many fruits and vegetable release, which self-triggers continued ripening and eventually, spoilage.

It's Science

The science behind the supply chain solutions:

What’s inside the packaging insert?

The basis for all our core technologies is the controlled release of active ingredients from solid materials. We start with natural materials and modify them to become functional for storing and time-releasing atmospheric active ingredients. The core innovation is the controlled release – we are not inventing new types of active ingredients, but rather allowing a more dynamic deployment of industry standard and food-safe active ingredients that have been academically validated.

How does the technology extend the shelf life of produce?

It depends on the active ingredient. With some of our products, the active ingredient released from our clamshell liner is an organic anti-fungal vapor that prevents mold and decay. For crops like avocados and apples, the active ingredients we use neutralizes the effects of ethylene, a hormone that many fruits and vegetables release which self-triggers continued ripening and eventually, spoilage.

Is the technology the same depending on the produce it’s being used with, given the respiration rate of the product?

Different crops have entirely different respiration rates and ethylene production levels. As a result, each product is tailored to that specific crop. The form factor of the product remains the same, however, which allows for flexible application by any customer regardless of the product’s formula.
