Our technology eliminates the use of stickers on fresh fruits & vegetables by replacing them by a mark made by a laser
About
In a world where plastics and unnecessary packaging items are overwhelming us, Laserfood has developed a unique technology that allows to mark in a permanent way any kind of fresh fruit or vegetable. The mark is made by a laser light and allows to eliminate the use of paper stickers and also plastic packaging. The mark is safe for the fruit as it does not damage its skin. The shelf life is not altered.
We call our technology "Natural Branding", since there is nothing on the fruit skin. Just a mark made by the laser. As a result, we reduce the carbon footprint by 99,9% just on stickers.
We also contribute to reducing the amount of plastic used to pack fruits & vegetables since the permanent mark allows to identify the product. Laserfood builds and sells machines that can be installed in packing houses and work at industrial level, marking large volumes of produce.
Our goal is to convert our technology in a new way of labelling fruits and vegetables worldwide and to extend its use to other fresh produce such as bakery and pastry products, eggs, meat, fish, etc...
We propose complete, integrated solutions that aim at reducing the impact of our society on the environment by taking out of the chain elements such as stickers that, otherwise, would end in the landfill.
