Created by an Italian start-up Green Code, Demetra is an all-natural treatment for food preservation. It's made from 100% plant extracts and can improve the shelf life of natural produce.
Thanks to Demetra, produce would no longer need to be kept at cold temperatures while in transit, saving a lot of energy. The product also helps produce to stay fresh and ripe longer, effectively reducing food waste in supermarkets and groceries.
There's never been a greater push for sustainable products and technologies than there is today. We've reached a critical point with regards to climate change, and many innovators and businesses are stepping up to the plate to build a greener future. Here are just some of the incredible examples of sustainable innovation that could change the world as we know it, and pave the way for a more sustainable way of living.
