Antigrade Expands to the UK: A New Era in Food Preservation

  • July 9, 2024

Introduction

We are thrilled to announce that Antigrade, a pioneering company at the forefront of addressing global food waste, is expanding to the UK. Our cutting-edge technology extends the shelf life of fresh produce, significantly reducing waste and promoting sustainable packaging solutions. By partnering with key players in the UK market, we aim to make a substantial impact on food preservation and environmental sustainability.

The Global Challenge: Food Waste

Food waste is a critical issue with far-reaching consequences:

  • 40% of global food production is wasted annually, equating to 2.5 billion tonnes.
  • 960 liters of water are used to produce just 1 kg of fruit, highlighting the inefficiency and environmental impact.
  • 370 million tons of plastic are produced yearly, with only 25% being recycled, exacerbating environmental challenges.

In the UK, the situation is particularly urgent:

  • The UK produces the highest amount of food waste in Europe, with 10.7 million tonnes of food and drink wasted annually, worth around £19 billion.
  • 60% of this waste comes from households, equating to 6.4 million tonnes.

Antigrade’s Solution

Antigrade's groundbreaking technology mimics the natural electromagnetic biofield of living organisms, significantly delaying the degradation process of fresh foods such as fruits, berries, fish, and meat. Our technology ensures:

  • Extended freshness, taste, and safety of food.
  • Reduced reliance on preservatives.
  • Compatibility with sustainable materials like cardboard, aiding the transition from plastic packaging.

Proven Success and Strategic Partnerships

We have already established strong partnerships and demonstrated success through rigorous testing in Norway:

  • BAMA Partnership: Since 2021, we have collaborated with BAMA, a major distributor of fruits and vegetables in Scandinavia. BAMA has validated our technology, showing significant shelf-life extension for strawberries and other fruits.
  • Insula Partnership: Successful tests have shown superior performance in preserving fish.

Market Potential

Antigrade is uniquely positioned for substantial growth in a market eager for innovation:

  • Global fresh food market: High potential across various categories such as fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat.
  • Sustainability: Aligning with global regulatory trends and consumer preferences towards sustainable packaging.
  • Scalability: Our technology is cost-effective, easy to integrate, and does not require specialized machinery, ensuring a smooth scale-up process.

Antigrade is Now Expanding to the UK

We are actively seeking partnerships with industry leaders, retailers, and sustainability advocates in the UK to expand our impact:

  • Retailers and Distributors: Integrate Antigrade technology to offer longer-lasting fresh produce, reducing waste and increasing customer satisfaction.
  • Producers and Manufacturers: Adopt our technology to enhance your products' quality and shelf life, leading to cost savings and improved marketability.
  • Sustainability Advocates and NGOs: Collaborate with us to promote sustainable practices and reduce environmental impact.
