In this episode…As more people become health-conscious, they prefer to bring their homemade foods to work. However, when it comes time to eat lunch, the food is always soggy and does not taste as good. So, how can they improve their food packaging to prevent this from happening again?
Scientist Bill Birgen says this was also a problem he dealt with. Fed up with his soggy lunches, he developed a pocket-sized thermodynamic solution that creates the perfect atmosphere inside his lunch box, keeping his food fresh and crisp. It prevents condensation, the root cause of premature molding, wilting, and spoilage of packaged foods. He shares how he turned this into a successful business in the food industry.
On this episode of the Firebelly Social Show, Duncan Alney talks with Bill Birgen, Founder and CTO of SAVRpak, about food safety. Bill talks about the origin story of SAVRpak, how to reduce food waste with innovative packaging solutions, the future of SAVRpak, and advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.
