NATURAL CHITOSAN COATING FOR POST-HARVEST FRUITS
While worldwide hunger continues to rise, almost 50% of all fruit and vegetables produced are wasted – predominantly due to post-harvest loss.
Chitosan is a safe, effective, and edible post-harvest protector to extend fruits’ shelf life, quality, texture, and appearance. Coating fruits with Chitosan will create a selective semi-permeable film to regulate the atmosphere around the fruit.
We admit the global problem of post-harvest fruit loss won’t be solved by one product. But in the wise words of Sir David Attenborough: “the one thing we can all do is stop waste”. So here’s looking at you: CHITOSAN.
“LOGICAL THINKING & CONSULTING TECHNIQUES” – THE BEST TRAINING COURSE OF THE YEAR

FROM SHRIMP SHELL TO FUNCTIONAL FABRICS
The cost of the clothes in our closet is not how much we paid for it, but the cost to the environment to make it. While fabrics better our lives in many ways, the greater textiles industry contributes immense global carbon emissions and is responsible for approximately 20% of wastewater worldwide. No doubt, if today’s lifestyle patterns continue, global apparel consumption will grow rapidly
Born from a shrimp’s ‘shell clothing,’ VNF’s Chitosan offers immediate, eco-friendly solutions to empower the textiles industry to be less reliant on chemicals and ultimately sustain eco-friendly growth. Because VNF believes your clothes shouldn’t come at such a high cost to the Earth’s wellbeing.
