ReFed estimates 500,000 pounds of food could be diverted from landfills annually with high-tech packaging. Brian Morris, Hattie B's vice president of culinary learning and development, said each SavrPak costs the company less than US$1 but ensures a better meal. Kroger wouldn't say how much more Apeel products cost. Apeel also wouldn't reveal the average price premium for produce treated with its coating since it varies by food distributor and grocer.
