Our Roadmap to 2030N&E Innovations is a sustainable materials company developing next-generation antimicrobial packaging to reduce food waste and plastic pollution. Using its patented Vi-KANG technology made from upcycled food waste, N&E creates home-compostable, food-safe packaging that actively extends shelf life and replaces conventional plastics. The company’s solutions are already manufactured and deployed at scale across various countries, delivering measurable environmental and carbon-reduction benefits.
Established in 2020, N&E Innovations is a BioTech company headquartered in Singapore with a new office Birmingham, UK. They have developed ViKANG, a 100% natural antibacterial agent made from food wastes that has been certified to eliminate toxic particles, bacteria and viruses like the coronavirus.
ViKANG is fully derived from recycled food waste and is extremely versatile for many use-cases ranging from disinfectants, water treatment, to food grade plastics and more. This truly enables and contributes to creating a circular economy whilst reducing carbon emissions. Through this waste upcycling, we aim to protect user health and ensure the sustainability of the environment and ecosystems.
