The manufacturing landscape is undergoing a significant shift towards sustainability, and packaging is at the forefront of this change. Phitons Bioengineering is a company built on innovation and environmental responsibility, aiming to eliminate microplastics and become a leader in sustainable packaging solutions.
Our approach is guided by three core principles: affordability, minimal disruption, and large-scale impact. We ensure our products are economically viable, avoiding the “green premium” that often hinders adoption. This ensures both manufacturers and consumers benefit from the transition to sustainable practices.
India’s ban on single-use plastics in 2022, while a positive environmental step, threatened the livelihoods of many manufacturers. Phitons stands out by enabling existing industries to adapt, preserving jobs while protecting the environment. We achieve this through close collaboration, identifying industry pain points and crafting tailored packaging solutions.
A prime example is our innovative range of Earthen materials. This proprietary packaging material incorporates up to 50% soil into the compostable polymer, creating a material that enriches the earth as it decomposes. Phitons is committed to continuous innovation, setting ambitious goals to become the industry standard for sustainable packaging.
Phitons: A Diverse Product Portfolio
• EarthenSeries: This flexible packaging line replaces single-use plastics like pouches, bags, and bin liners.
• EarthenKraft: Caters to the agricultural sector with compostable mulch films and grow bags.
• EarthenFresh: A specialty product extending the shelf life of fresh produce by up to 4 times, minimizing spoilage and waste.
EarthenFresh: A Success Story in Sustainability
Phitons is proud to announce a recent partnership with a major direct-to-consumer grocer supplying fresh produce directly from farms to consumers. After three rounds of rigorous testing, our EarthenFresh product demonstrably improved their bottom line. By delaying ripening, reducing moisture loss, and preventing spoilage, EarthenFresh increased their profits by a remarkable 30% during trial runs. This success story highlights the real-world impact of Phitons’ solutions.
Phitons: Partnering for a Sustainable Future
Phitons prioritizes collaboration with experts from various industries, ensuring seamless entry into new markets. Our immediate focus is on direct-to-consumer grocers and fresh produce suppliers. By offering sustainable packaging solutions, we empower these businesses to minimize their environmental footprint and maximize their profits.
Join the Movement Towards a Sustainable Future
Phitons’ success stories are numerous, with companies across India and globally using our solutions for fresh produce transportation and storage. Imagine the impact of implementing EarthenFresh on a national scale. In 2021 alone, India lost a staggering 93,000 crore INR due to post-harvest food losses. EarthenFresh has the potential to significantly reduce this waste, contributing to India’s food security efforts. We’re not just a company; we’re a movement advocating for a greener future. Together, we can combat the microplastic epidemic and create a lasting positive impact. Reach out to Phitons and join us in making a difference!
