Every year, up to 50% of all food produced worldwide goes to waste amounting to over $2.6 Trillion in losses. Our mission is to put an end food waste. We help distributors and growers maximize their hard-earned profits, while reducing waste. Ryp Labs is a USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) and NSF (National Science Foundation) funded crop and food protection company developing and commercializing biomimicry solutions to combat global food waste, sustainably and safely. We are building a business that comprises high-performing, driven individuals with altruistic values who want to change the world. Today, we've developed a natural and safe formulation that can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including stickers, labels, and sheets, to increase the shelf-life of fresh produce. Our food-safe labels (Shelf-Defense), and stickers (StixFresh), have been shown to double the shelf-life of fresh produce, by simply peeling and applying them to loose produce or its packaging. Join us in the fight against food waste, one sticker at a time.
