In the US, over half of fresh fruit and vegetables go to waste
Stickers keep fruit fresh longer and help avoid food waste
Roughly a third of all the food produced around the world goes to waste. Extending the shelf life of fresh fruit and veggies could be an absolute game changer in the food industry. A simple sticker can add an extra 14 days of freshness, says StixFresh. Using natural plant compounds, the sticker creates a protective layer, slowing the ripening process.

It sounds too good to be true, but the inventor of StixFresh says that the sticker acts in the same way as the natural protections used by plants themselves. Simply sticking one to a piece of fruit can extend its shelf life by up to two weeks, says Zhafri Zainudin.
