Extends shelf life of fresh produce
Goleta, CA, USA
The internship is full-time (30 to 40 hrs/week) at Apeel's headquarters in Goleta, California.
Apeel Sciences focuses on extending the shelf life of fresh produce to combat food waste. The company uses natural materials from the peels, seeds, and pulp of fruits and vegetables to create a plant-based protective layer that slows spoilage due to water loss and oxidation. This layer helps keep produce fresh for twice as long, benefiting farmers, suppliers, and retailers by delivering longer-lasting fruits and vegetables. Unlike competitors, Apeel emphasizes sustainability and efficiency, reducing the economic and environmental costs of food waste. Their goal is to transform the food supply chain by providing solutions that enhance the freshness of produce while supporting a more sustainable food system.
