Company Performance Metrics
ENCAPSULAE began its activity in 2018 as a spin-off of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) for the development and marketing of additives for active and intelligent packaging.
In 2019 it was selected within the CLIMATE-KIC program, as one of the startup projects for the development of technology for food packaging, reducing food
waste and eliminating the plastic waste generated by packaging.
We have our own technology and licensed by the CSIC, for the encapsulation of active ingredients in supports such as zeolites, sepiloites, bentonites, polysaccharides, silices, microcapsules, organoarcillas and others, with which active containers are later manufactured.
The additives developed by ENCAPSULAE preserve food from deterioration from the packaging,allowing to extend the useful life of the food, through solutions such as oxygen absorption, reduction of bacteria, sunlight filters, release of antioxidants, etc ...
Once the containers have been used, they become a residue that, if not properly recycled, takes hundreds of years to degrade. ENCAPSULAE has additives for the acceleration of polymer degradation so that once the container has been used it can degrade in less than 180 days following the EN-13432 standard.
