Approximatelyone-third of the worldwide production of foods for

human consumption is lost or squandered, equivalent to some1,300
million tonnes each year.

This means that enormous quantities of resources allocated for food production are used in vain, and
that greenhouse gas emissions caused by producing foods that are lost or wasted are absolutely
unnecessary emissions.

Foods lost or wasted along the food chain from planting crops to final consumption in homes while
more obvious in industrialised countries in the residential consumption stage, in low-income countries
the foods are primarily lost in the initial and intermediate stages.

In general, more foods per capita go to waste in the industrialised countries than in developing
countries. ForEuropean and North American consumers, this figure ranges from95 to 115 kg/year,
while insub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asiathe figure is only6 to 11 kg/year.

In a world with limited natural resources (land, water, energy, etc.) and in which cost-effective solutions
must be found for producing enough innocuous and nutritious foods for everyone, reducing food
waste must be a priority.

The majority of wasted foods are fruits and vegetables. These losses can be substantially reduced by
improving conditions along the entire distribution chain in order to improve its efficiency.

For industrialised countries, the use ofethylene removal systems during transport and storageis a
habitual practice, as there is clear awareness of the effects of ethylene on the ripening process of fruits
and vegetables, as well as the advantages entailed in its elimination:fresh products that last longer,
waste reduction, better corporate image, etc., resulting inresource optimisation and larger financial
profits.

The situation is different in the last stages of the chain, at supermarkets and home consumption, where
awareness is still lacking on the damaging effects of ethylene on fruits and vegetables and the
advantages of using ethylene removal systems.

After 20 years in the air filtration sector, Bioconservacion is the leader in providing innocuous solutions
for effectively removing ethylene: sachets, filters, machines, etc., during transport and storage.

There are studies that reveal that88% of consumers throw out fresh productsbefore they are
consumed, convinced of theneed to reduce this level of waste in residential
consumption,Bioconservacion invests greatly in R&D, constantly adapting its technology to fresh food
conservation, based on the removal of ethylene and the requirements of the residential market. It
works hand-in-hand with refrigerator manufacturers with the aim of proposing integrated solutions for
their fridges, as well as developing disposable solutions that consumers can put in their refrigerators.
