Saveggy pilots edible plant-based coating to replace plastic in fresh produce

October 9, 2025 from the New Food:

"Swedish start-up Saveggy has developed an edible, plant-based coating for cucumbers, offering a sustainable alternative to plastic packaging. Backed by EIT Food, the company is piloting the solution with ICA and Odlarna, with plans to expand across Europe."

"The coating, made from rapeseed oil and oat oil, provides a natural alternative to single-use plastic. According to Saveggy, scaling up the technology could play a role in tackling food waste while supporting the EU’s 2030 sustainability targets under the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation."
