  Silfresh is a packaging innovation company creating environmentally responsible and cost-effective products to reduce single-use plastic in the food industry. Our current focus is in designing bespoke silicone products which provide our customers with an easy and reusable way to cover their food in internal operations. The main customer segments we service are supermarkets, butchers/restaurant chains and other large industrial food businesses. Although our company was only launched in late 2018, we have been lucky to work with Australia's largest supermarket chain to help them achieve their sustainability mission. In doing so, we will ultimately save them 600 tonnes of plastic waste, as well as $7million off the bottom line by 2021. We believe that by working with large food businesses to scale our sustainability mission, we can reduce the 1million tonnes of single-use plastic waste going into landfill and Australian waterways every year (APCO, 2019).
