Summary
In order to effectively operate a reusable packaging program at scale -- and with little behaviour change required by consumers and vendors -- technology is needed to deliver real-time data across the user journey.With the government mandated phase out of single use packaging coming into effect, Suppli is building a circular solution that eliminates the need for single-use packaging in a way that reduces costs and prepares businesses for incoming regulations on food packaging.FWTC is developing an entirely new, food-safe line of equipment for cold concentration of foodstuffs, resulting in up to 10x the concentration capability of reverse osmosis. This technology will advance the competitiveness of Canadas food business ecosystem through the production of higher quality end products with reduced GHG emissions associated with processing.In a bid to help small and medium-sized restaurants reduce food waste and optimize costs, Radish is developing a lightweight digital twin system that will enable restaurants to easily monitor and predict their inventory stores, with a focus on accessibility and accuracy. Canadas plant-based market is accelerating; however, popular fermented proteins like Tempeh and Koji rely upon imported starter cultures, with no domestic options available. CFIN is extremely excited to fund homegrown, innovative solutions that have the potential to reduce emissions, increase domestic production, and establish Canada as a global leader in new and emerging food sectors.Innovation and technology are key to the success of our agri-food sector. "Suppli is thrilled to be receiving support from the Canadian Food Innovation Network for its work to reduce single-use packaging waste across Canada.
