Less food waste for a fresher future
We design innovative active biomaterials to protect your fresh food. Our goal? To reduce food waste and make the agri-food system more resilient and sustainable for everyone.
Our purpose
Agreenet is an innovative startup that deals with creating active biomaterials to better protect fresh foods, especially fruits and vegetables.
We are here to improve every stage, from storage to transportation passing through packaging, with a clear goal: to reduce food waste and make the supply chain more efficient and sustainable.
Food waste
According to the FAO, 13% of global food is lost between harvesting and sale, and in Europe 20% of losses occur during transportation, storage and distribution, with fruit and vegetables representing 23%. In Italy, fruit and vegetables account for 34% of total waste, with citrus fruits, grapes and berries among the most wasted in supermarkets, local markets and greengrocers.
an economic, social
In Italy, economic losses in food distribution amount to 1.5 billion euros per year. The main causes are inadequate transport, storage and climate conditions (80%) and pathogens and parasites (60%).
and environmental problem
Globally, food waste is the third source of CO2 emissions, with 3.3 billion tons, after the United States and China. In Europe, it generates 186 million tons of CO2eq, equal to the weight of 400,000 Boeing 747s!

Benefici per la comunità
Facciamo anche la nostra parte a livello sociale.
Collaboriamo con diverse iniziative locali come Parla con me! (Link), Filiera Zero Spreco (Link) e l’Istituto Tecnico Scientifico (ITS) [CHIEDERE ENZO] per sensibilizzare la comunità sul problema dello spreco alimentare.
Ma non ci fermiamo qui! Periodicamente pubblichiamo report e documenti (i famosi whitepaper) in cui facciamo il punto sulle azioni contro lo spreco alimentare. Li condividiamo con la nostra community – gli Agreeners – e la nostra rete professionale, perché crediamo che più siamo a conoscere il problema, meglio possiamo affrontarlo insieme.
