Yesterday we wrote about an agriculture company that has developed a plant-based coating that keeps fruits and vegetables fresh 3-4 times longer. In similar fashion, today we’re talking about a company that has created a simple filter system designed to prolong the ‘green life’ of bananas. The filter is a small piece of breathable material that can be placed with bananas before shipment to alter the environment they’re transported in, which doubles the lifespan of the bananas. Considering that the UK alone throws 1.4 million bananas away each day, this invention could seriously help reduce food waste.
This small piece of material can double the lifespan of bananas
