One-line pitch
ChitoChar turns farm waste into a simple sachet that helps fruits and vegetables stay fresh longer, reducing food waste while giving waste a useful second life.
Your solution
ChitoChar is a low-cost, waste-derived sachet designed to help fresh fruits and vegetables stay fresh longer by managing ethylene, a key driver of ripening. We transform agricultural waste into a functional preservation material for farmers, exporters, packing stations, food distributors, retailers, and households. Alongside the physical product, we are developing an AI-assisted platform that helps users make better preservation and storage decisions based on crop type, storage conditions, experimental data, and scientific evidence. After use, the material can be returned to agricultural soil, creating a circular solution connecting waste reduction, food preservation, and environmental impact.
