Freshr Sustainable Technologies Inc.

Published purpose

The firm has achieved a minimum viable product (MVP) for the Actipack sheet in a batch process in the laboratory. They also scaled from producing small 2.5 x 2.5 cm samples to large sheets of 20 x 30 cm. The next challenge is scaling up the active film production to a semi-automated continuous in-line process that will allow them to produce large quantities of film in a roll format. This step is critical to reach a commercially-viable product. The lab technician (Chemist) will work with the existing team of scientists and engineers to: 1) optimize antibacterial formulation to reduce overall cost 2) adapt all chemical reactions for large scale in-line production 3) explore new chemistries to accelerate/simplify existing chemical processes
