Manufacturing is undergoing a major shift towards sustainability, and packaging is at the forefront of this change. Phitons Bioengineering is a company founded on innovation and environmental responsibility, aiming to eliminate microplastics and become a leader in sustainable packaging solutions.
Our approach is based on three fundamental principles: affordability, minimal disruption, and large-scale impact. We avoid the “green premium” that often hinders adoption and ensure our products are economically viable. This ensures that both manufacturers and consumers benefit from the transition to sustainable practices.
India’s ban on single-use plastics in 2022, while a positive environmental measure, threatened the livelihoods of many manufacturers. Phitons stands out by preserving jobs and enabling existing industries to adapt while protecting the environment. We achieve this through close collaboration, identifying industry pain points and creating customized packaging solutions.
A prime example of this is our innovative earth material series. This unique packaging material incorporates up to 50% soil into a compostable polymer, creating a material that enriches the earth as it decomposes. Fightons is committed to continuous innovation and has set an ambitious goal of becoming the industry standard for sustainable packaging.
Phitons: Diverse product portfolio
• EarthenSeries: This flexible packaging line replaces single-use plastics such as pouches, bags, and trash can liners.
• EarthenKraft: Compostable mulch film and grow bags for the agricultural sector.
• EarthenFresh: A special product that extends the shelf life of fresh produce by up to four times, minimizing spoilage and waste.
EarthenFresh: A success story in sustainability
Pitons is proud to announce our recent partnership with a leading direct-to-consumer grocer that brings fresh produce directly from the farm to the consumer. After three rounds of rigorous testing, our EarthenFresh products have clearly improved your bottom line. EarthenFresh increased profits by as much as 30% during commissioning by slowing ripening, reducing moisture loss and preventing spoilage. This success story highlights the real-world impact of Phitons’ solutions.
Phitons: Partnership for a sustainable future
Fightons prioritizes collaboration with experts from various industries to ensure seamless entry into new markets. Our immediate focus is direct-to-consumer grocery stores and fresh produce suppliers. By providing sustainable packaging solutions, we help these companies minimize their environmental footprint and maximize their profits.
Join the movement for a sustainable future
Pitons’ success stories are numerous, with companies across India and around the world using our solutions for transporting and storing perishables. Imagine the impact of implementing EarthenFresh on a national scale. India incurred a staggering loss of 93,000 billion rupees in 2021 alone due to post-harvest food loss. EarthenFresh has the potential to significantly reduce this waste and contribute to India’s food security efforts. We are more than just a company. We are a movement advocating for a greener future. Together we can fight the microplastic epidemic and create a lasting positive impact. Contact Pitons and make a difference with us!
