Mori
Mori’s technology uses just salt, water, and heat to extract a natural protein from silk that protects food, slows spoilage, and creates more sustainable practices in the food supply chain.
Why we invested
Food waste and food resiliency are massive problems and are challenging to tackle due to the fragmented and distributed nature of the problem. We need a way to make food last longer that is not plastic. Mori has created a highly versatile, nature-based coating that extends the life of food, unlocking significant value for their customers and the consumer.
Why this work matters
Making a more resilient food system will alleviate the negative climate impact of food and packaging waste while improving access and equitability. This can all be accomplished using a natural protein from silk to extend shelf life.
