Apeel plant-based produce coating

Apeel is an innovative food technology brand that produces a plant-based, edible coating designed to extend the shelf life of fresh produce. By creating a 'second skin' on fruits and vegetables, it slows down water loss and oxidation, which are the primary causes of spoilage. This helps reduce food waste across the global supply chain.

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in California, Apeel Sciences operates as a private company. Its manufacturing primarily takes place in the United States, where it produces its proprietary formulations derived from materials found in the skins, peels, and seeds of all plants. The company has gained significant attention and investment from major venture capital firms and environmental advocates due to its potential to impact global sustainability.
