Don’t ripen.

The RYPEN Technology can be seamlessly integrated into packaging materials already in use today, enabling integrated, hassle-free ethylene control.

  • RYPEN Leaf

    The RYPEN Technology captures ethylene molecules present in the air around the produce. This moderates the ethylene’s effect, slowing the ripening process and extending condition for longer, resulting in reduced waste (Indicated by numerous trials and commercial pilots across a wide range of crop types).

  • RYPEN Film

    The RYPEN Technology captures ethylene molecules present in the air around the produce. This moderates the ethylene’s effect, slowing the ripening process and extending condition for longer, resulting in reduced waste (Indicated by numerous trials and commercial pilots across a wide range of crop types).
Selective ethylene control
The RYPEN Technology selectively captures ethylene, moderating its effect on fresh produce and slowing the ripening process.
Moderating. Not blocking.
RYPEN is not an ethylene inhibitor. The natural biological pathways in the produce are left unchanged, allowing aroma, taste and texture to develop.
Nothing coating the produce
RYPEN isn’t applied to the surface of fresh produce, it simply manages the air in close proximity. Alleviating potential concerns consumers may have around coatings which are directly applied to the surface of fresh produce.
Better flavours
RYPEN allows fresh produce to naturally ripen and fully develop which is critical for flavour development.
Mitigating risk
Incumbent oxidising chemicals like potassium permanganate may render fresh produce unfit for human consumption if the chemical leaks or otherwise contacts the fruit. RYPEN does not rely on chemical oxidising reactions, instead it captures ethylene from the air, physically locking it away.
Flexible solution
RYPEN Technology is available in a variety of formats and derivatives enabling us to recommend the perfect solution for your requirements.
Intelligent preservation
RYPEN is truly unique, selectively capturing ethylene
for long lasting, natural protection of fresh produce.
Substrate adaptable
RYPEN can be extruded into polymers
or inked onto paper material.
Seamlessly integrated
RYPEN’s substrate adaptability enables integration with existing packaging
materials and processes, avoiding costly capital investment.
