BOKU study: NaKu bags keep food fresher for longer

NaKu organic bags keep food fresh for longer

A study by BOKU shows that fruit, vegetables and bread stay fresh longer in NaKu organic bags.

With our NaKu organic bags made of bioplastic/natural plastic you can keep your food such as bread, vegetables and fruit fresher for longer. An ideal way to be able to actively do something about food waste yourself, simply and easily! And what could be better than always having fresh fruit and vegetables in the fridge!

In a study by BOKU, apples, mangoes, tomatoes, chanterelles, salad, bread and rolls were stored in three different ways: open, in plastic bags and in NaKu organic bags. The result is clear. For example, bread in the NaKu organic bag lasts more than twice as long as when stored open and also retains its taste compared to the plastic bag. Apples keep their taste, especially when stored in the NaKu organic bag. The situation is similar for lettuce and other foods.

The advantages of the NaKu organic bags are therefore clearly visible: thanks to the freshness function, less valuable food is thrown away. As a result, groceries need to be bought less often and our need for them decreases. The result is less agricultural land, less nature has to give way for our food. After all, less food also means less fertilizer use, less transport and lower greenhouse gas emissions. With our NaKu organic bags you can make a valuable contribution to environmental and climate protection. In addition to these important effects on our common environment, you are also protecting your wallet!
