Hazel Tech was founded in 2015 when five students met in an entrepreneurial course at Northwestern University — the course focused on forming a sustainable technology business plan and gave the group a platform to begin. Behind the new business model was a passion for building sustainable solutions where it mattered most; the food supply chain.
The group was bound by a mission to reduce food waste on a global scale with easy to use, food-safe technology. Together, they created a suite of technologies with sustainability and efficiency in mind.
Today, over 150 growers, packers, and retailers of fresh produce use Hazel Tech® products in their supply chain.
Hazel’s® USDA-funded 1-MCP technology conditions the storage atmosphere to reduce respiration rate & increase resistance to ethylene.
