Extending Shelf-Life. Reducing Waste. Proven.
Antimicrobial coating for food packaging that helps extend shelf life by up to 40% — developed in partnership with OSY Group and now adopted by leading manufacturers across three continents.
A Third of the World's Food Never Reaches a Plate
Food waste is one of the largest global challenges — costing the economy hundreds of billions annually and contributing significantly to landfill and emissions.
Food Wasted Annually
An estimated 1.4 billion tonnes of food is wasted globally every year — across farms, supply chains, and retail.
Cost to Economy
The annual economic cost of food waste, affecting producers, retailers, and consumers across the supply chain.
Lost in Supply Chain
Nearly a third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted before it reaches the consumer.
Food Packaging Market
The global antimicrobial food packaging market — a rapidly growing sector driven by demand for longer shelf life.
One Coating. Lasting Protection.
ZOONO XTEND applies an antimicrobial coating to food packaging during manufacture — helping extend shelf life without modifying the food itself.
Apply
Antimicrobial coating is applied to packaging surfaces during manufacture — integrating into existing production lines.
Bond
The formulation forms a covalent bond with the packaging material — a durable layer that does not wash off, leach, or transfer to food.
Protect
The bonded layer inhibits microorganism adherence, helping slow degradation and extend the shelf life of fresh produce.
ZOONO XTEND Antimicrobial Coating
Supplied in 1,000-litre totes for commercial integration
