Companies in Dartmouth—Cole Harbour are doing BIG things and Freshr is one of them.
I just announced an investment of nearly $500,000 to help them expand their operations here in Dartmouth!
This brilliant homegrown company developed a naturally derived antibacterial coating for their fully compostable food packaging film—keeping food fresher for 15-30% longer by preventing bacterial growth.
Salmon lasts 2-4 days longer in their special packaging! So cool.
Wasted food results in an estimated $2.6 trillion in annual economic losses worldwide and produces 10% of total global greenhouse gas emissions—so this cleantech company is a real game-changer.
Way to go, Freshr! Thanks for choosing Dartmouth!!
