Revolutionising Food Technology
Incredible innovation, designed to tackle humanity’s biggest challenges.
The Problem
The prevalence of plastic packaging, which constitutes around two-thirds of all food and drink packaging in the UK, further exacerbates this systemic issue, resulting in 3 Mtonnes of waste.
Recognizing the urgency, two-thirds of consumer packaging stakeholders have committed to the UK Plastics Pact. Metalchemy technology tackles both of these issue using its patented silver technology.
Food Waste in the World Today
Discover how much each country is wasting and take steps towards a sustainable future.
In the UK alone, an estimated 9.5 Mtonnes of food is wasted annually, causing severe environmental, social, and economic impacts.
To address this pressing issue, the UK government has set ambitious targets to reduce food waste by 50% by 2030.

How does it work?
At Metalchemy, we are dedicated to revolutionizing our technology for a better future.
By embeding our technology into natural and biodegradable packaging, we can enhance their properties and offering a sustainable solution to extend food shelf life.
To date we tested our technology on top ten high food waste products, achieving food shelf life extensions between x1.5-2.0x.
ISO 16869:2008 - (LHS) packaging with no silver technology exhibit full mould growth, (RHS) no mould growth due to Metalchemy antimicrobial technology. Our antimicrobial protection can help prolong food shelf life.
