Activity highlights
Selected as one of seven finalists in the SusHi Tech Challenge 2025 in Tokyo, demonstrating its StixFresh food preservation technology.

Ryp Labs is a food and crop protection company that develops and commercializes natural, sticker-based preservation technology to reduce food waste. Its primary solution, StixFresh, utilizes a patent-pending, bio-mimetic formulation that releases a vapor to form a protective shield around fruits and vegetables. This technology mimics the natural defense mechanisms of plants, slowing down the ripening process and the onset of post-harvest diseases, such as mold. The formulation is safe and can be applied to various surfaces, including produce stickers, labels, and packaging materials.

By extending the shelf life of fresh produce, Ryp Labs provides a scalable solution for growers, packers, distributors, and retailers to minimize spoilage and maximize profitability. The company’s innovation is designed to improve food security and reduce the environmental impact associated with food waste, such as methane emissions and wasted resources. Ryp Labs has been recognized for its work in the industry, including winning the 2024 Lineage Global Food Chain Innovation Challenge, and operates with a mission to create more sustainable and efficient global food supply chains.
