20 Oct 2022 --- Melodea, an Israeli tech start-up, will bring its barrier coatings to US markets and build a manufacturing plant to support increased production capacity. The bio-based formula is derived from cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) to steer the barrier industry away from single-use plastic. The plant-based barrier coating is plastic-free and sourced from wood pulp for food, beverage, cosmetics and consumer goods packages. CNC can withstand high humidity and protects packed products from oxygen, water, oil and grease.
