Apeel Sciences
Debt Financing in 2022
Apeel Sciences, based in California, addresses the global food waste crisis by developing plant-derived solutions that extend the shelf life of fresh produce. Founded in 2012, the company creates pre-and post-harvest products using natural plant extracts, such as Edipeel and Invisipeel, which protect fruits and vegetables from environmental factors and pre-harvest issues. These innovations effectively double the lifespan of harvested crops without refrigeration, helping to reduce spoilage and conserve resources like water and energy. By leveraging materials found in the skins, peels, and seeds of fruits and vegetables, Apeel aims to minimize food waste and promote sustainability throughout the supply chain. The company's efforts are supported by a range of private investors and philanthropic organizations.
