Contronics Dry Misting Inspired by nature to reduce food waste

45% of all fruit and vegetables end up wasted. This not only puts a heavy burden on our environment, but is also unacceptable in a world with a growing population and so many mouths to feed.

For that reason, Contronics developed Dry Misting. Dry Misting reduces waste, by imitating the morning mist that hangs over a crop field. Dry Misting is a technology that spreads tiny drops of water in the air, creating a thin layer of mist. As the mist evaporates, the humidity rises and the temperature drops naturally. When applied on fresh products, Dry Misting results in retaining freshness and nutrients. Extending the shelf life of these products up to twice as long and hereby reducing food waste.

We need to consume and produce food differently to combat climate change and food inequality. Contronics believes we can do this by taking better care of the food we already produce. We want to stop harvesting what we sow and start solely sowing what we need to harvest.
