WHAT WE DO


FRESH, QUALITY PROTEINS. NATURALLY EXTENDED SHELF LIFE

BluBuoy v2.jpg

BluWrap provides technology and solutions that naturally extend the shelf-life of perishable proteins.  It uses its patented, oxygen management techniques to create and maintain an all-natural, controlled atmosphere environment that suspends time so that fresh fish and other proteins can be transported virtually anywhere in the world without the need for ice, environmentally harmful polystyrene, or expensive airfreight.

With its technology, BluWrap is revolutionizing fresh protein supply chains worldwide.

Suppliers can ship fresh protein products by ocean freight, rather than by airfreight, and still deliver a fresh, high quality product to its customers.

 

CONSUMERS PREFER FRESH OVER FROZEN FOODS

The problem facing suppliers today is that most consumers prefer fresh over frozen food, whether it’s seafood, pork, beef, or chicken. Fresh not only yields a higher price, but consumers also believe that “fresh” is synonymous with a higher quality product and a greater dining experience.

Until now, the only option – particularly for seafood – has been to pack the protein on ice in polystyrene containers and use airfreight to ship proteins from the source of supply to the end market.

THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH SHIPPING "FRESH ON ICE" PROTEINS: 

  • No guarantee of consistent temperature throughout the supply chain.

  • Polystyrene is difficult to recycle, harmful to the environment, and slow to biodegrade.

  • Airfreight is expensive and highly pollutant. The carbon dioxide emitted per metric ton of freight per kilometer of transportation by air is 500g, compared to 10g to 40g by sea.

  • The chain of custody supply chain is currently invisible and unmonitored once product leaves the processing plant

  • Air cargo can be subject to delays and missed connections.

THE SOLUTION

What most people don’t realize is that oxygen and temperature – not time – is what threatens freshness.  Thankfully, scientists have developed ways to help overcome the effects of oxygen and temperature to prolong storage, and that’s where BluWrap comes in. BluWrap uses fuel cells to actively reduce and consistently monitor oxygen while the product is shipped in refrigerated containers, extending the shelf life of fresh proteins well beyond 40 days.

BluWrap’s patented technology maintains a consistent atmosphere and provides transparency throughout the supply chain by continually tracking temperature and oxygen through built-in sensors.

The bottom line is that controlled atmosphere technology packaging solutions combined with sea freight provides a viable alternative to traditional methods of shipping. It eliminates the constraints of time on freshness by modifying the atmosphere, has less of an impact on the environment, and enables suppliers to reach previously inaccessible markets.
